[Scott Castaline]

Somehow I'm starting to feel like I'm playing the lead role in a movie 
like "Pee Wee Herman's Great Adventure". Here is my latest update to 
their support and I just received their reply;

Question :     Win7 32bit works, Win7 64bit does not. Just stops at 
starting windows. I only have access to Win7 64 for 1 or 2 days and no 
longer have the 32 bit version. It does not get to the point of 
reporting errors, just stops.


(okay so I lied a bit about the 32bit part, it did run 32bit TinyXP though)


Answer : The board is ready for 64 bit OS and should not be an issue, 
what type of erring did you received?
Please reduce hardware down to the bare minimal
- cpu along with heatsinkfan
- single stick of memory
- videocard
- single hdd and optical drive

Okay what part of no reported errors as in just stopped booting do they 
not understand????
