Yep, I try all 4 selections & the fastest one (usually Europe) wins & I
cancel the other 3. I'm sending them a complaint via email at
MarketingATgigabyte-usa.com , doubt it will help (might help if a ton of
people do it) about their ridiculous lack of bandwidth.

On another note, the build on my new my new hard drive went in like butter.
Lucky me, the old drive is running on & off & I'm currently copying old data
from the bad hard drive. I'm quite pleased this morning.

I 2nd that, though it does depend which one you connect to, & sometimes what
time.

Ditto!! I'm on my second one, the GA-MP61P-S3 with the AMD 64 X2 5000+
Brisbane. Been smooth and solid for 3 months now

The http://www.gigabyte.us/ site is plenty fast at the moment.
I'm getting download speeds of ~1000kbs from the Asian (China) server
which I can live with.

Maybe the Nvidia site would be better for the chipset or audio drivers
for Nforce2?
