MR Footlong,
I like the sound of your jibe dude. Are you in the position to offer a solution to this niggleing problem. The area 51 from Alienware is the kind of spec I am after, but as you so rightly say, too pricey. If you can come up with the goods let me know.
Jinxy, tuck in mate. This Kentlad is so far up his own ar$e he needs bringing back down to earth. Wait unitl his missus finds out he wants to spend some money, he won't be allowed out for a week!!

Yeah, I know about the prolonged reset state problem too, mostly when using the power conditioner module from what I have seen. I should be trying the P4C800+Prommy+ATX Conditioner config this week, so will see for myself. The machine isn't gonna be overclocked, so the power condirioner is not a concern if it causes problems. I should have a Mach II coming for myself next week

Both the MSI and Gigabyte Canterwoods seem to be ok.
With a cable mod I got the Abit board running fine in my Vapo, but it seems the ASUS is still causing problems.
