Anyone else bought this Mb

Initially, it seems to be great.

However, on later inspection:
It doesn't seem to work properly with Norton Ghost 7
It has USB incompatibilities with certain devices.
It seems to come up with random "Please go into BIOS Iwill Smart Setting" messages.
They have an AWFUL support site.

Have I got a dodgy board ?

If not, is there anyone aroung Reading (UK) who's interesting in borrowing / testing / buying it.

I can't speak for the KA266-R, but I have a KK266-R motherboard that has performed extremely well, far better than my earlier Asus board. I would agree that IWill's support site is a bit lacking, it is a fairly small manufacturer however.

Have you tried sending them a message detailing your problems?

Regarding the Iwill KK266+ motherboard. I currently have some of the best motherboards available because I make my choices carefully. Among them: Tyan Dragon, Abit KT7R, and my last purchase the Iwill KK266+. The Iwill KK266+ outperforms the the others by far, some issues with Norton however but I believe it's a WinMe conflict. My configuration is as follows: KK266+, 1.2tb 266fsb overclocked to 1.36, ASUS Geforce2 mx400 v7100 pro64, Maxtor 30g 7200rpm, Antec Cpu cooler, and Antec sx1040 full case. The onboard audio is as good as my Soundblaster Live, if not better and you save like $75.00 by not having to buy an Audio card. At current prices $106 minus the $75.00(audio card) that's $31.00 for the motherboard....can't beat that!!!!!!!!...Rich
