Is the SB61G2 capable of having most ports/slot occupied as a full system?
Base on Shuttle “Full Loading” test standard, the SB61G2 is tested with benchmark software for over 3 days with following installed:

• Model: SB61G2BIOS: fb61s034
• CPU: P4 3.2GHz FSB 800MHz
• Memory: A-DATA DDR400 (PC 3200) 512MB * 2
• HDD: WD Raptor WD360 SATA 10,000rpm
• DVD-ROM: SONY DRU-510A DVD+RW
• USB device: Shuttle PC12 - USB2.0 card reader
• AGP card: ATi Radeon 9800 PRO (Build by ATi)
• PCI card: Hauppauge TV Tuner card
• Operating System: Windows XP Pro. + Service Pack 1

When overclocking the CPU FSB Clock, the memory frequency will also overclock at the same time. When overclocking make sure that you set the memory frequency to lower level, such that increases in FSB keep the memory frequency in a stable range. First deselect [Auto] for the “Memory Frequency For” as shown below. Try to set memory frequency to a lower level (ex. DDR 266 / 333).

1. Please press “Tab” key immediately when your screen show up the Intel logo. 

2. Please check the message from your monitor.

Note: Please refer to the user’s manual page 40, you have to use the same size and type DIMMs on Channels 0 and 1.

This could be due to the internal card reader using the “C” drive title (and D, E F). Since the card reader is pre-installed, it has automatically been allocated the first 4 letters (starting from C). Try one of the follow solutions to install your operating system onto the C drive and avoid such issues:

• 1. Remove the card reader cable before install operating system.
• 2. Disable onboard USB controller before install operation system.
