> I just grabd a p3 450 asus p2b mobo. I had mo issues with the install but
I did using the beta. There is no icon for cdrom/dvd and my control panel
dosent work. I am goin to try a reinstall. Not really sure about it yet. I
will say I dont like the defaults. I like the 8.0 defaults much better but
this is beta so I think there will be alot of changes.
