Just ordered this mobo and i would be greatful to get some tips which slots to use.

Besides the AGP-card i have an Pulsar2, D-Link (network) and Adaptec AHA-2904 (scsi-card).

Is there anything else important, useful tips when installing this mobo?? Bios??

Going to install WIN98SE, hopefully without ACPI, which i understand isn´t that easy.

Thanks

Yes, be sure you install the latest Intel .INF files (drivers for your i815 chipset: IDE/AGP etc). I've posted the link here on the Z before (search) or you can navigate through intel.com and find them.

Do this before you install any software, and right after you finish installing Windows for best results...

I always used slots 1,2,5 for the CW cards, and assigned them all the same IRQ in the BIOS. If you just have CW one card, use slot 2. (With slot 1 being by the AGP card).

OK-thanks. How about memory-sticks for this mobo. Read on the google.newsgroups that this mobo is picky about what memorys to use and the combination of those. I´ve been using (256, 2x128 SDRAM+PC133-noname) without any problems on my ABIT BX133-mobo.
Hopefully i´ll be alright with them on the TUSL2-c as well? Or do i need Crucial´s to get it working??

I have mixed 256MB SuperPC (don't laugh - it was back then... ) and 64MB Tech Trade simultaneously with my TUSL2-C without a problem.

Using Crucial/Micron usually means you're up and running without thinking much about it, but other brands can/do work... if you get any sampler issues, good chance its your RAM, just keep that in the back of your mind, you should be okay.

I got a Puls II in slot 2 and a Luna II in slot 3 with this Mobo.

And 256 MB and 128 MB sticks of Accutek RAM at 150 Mhz

All this plus a 1.2ghz PIII chip equals a bulletproof box.

You'll love it!
