In the end I just bought a new board with PCI Express.

What annoyed me a bit is that I bought all my bits and bobs from overclockers (went by reviews). Looked yesterday and they don`t have that mobo anymore! Funny that. Poor driver support from Nvidia/Asrock imvho. I knew about the vista probs but that is my main pc for music and gaming which I just wanted XP on, have vista on my lappy.
Mind you I actually like the board on the whole, touch wood the only prob soo far which now is fine.
