i forgot ot reply to this thread so here goes.
i returned the board and got my 54 dollars back. i could have changed the video card, but i didnt want the FP connectors and Sata connectors getting blocked by the graphics cards. im going to see if an Intel DX48BT2 will work with the gigabyte card i have.
i really REALLY hate it when manfactures play this dumb game of trying to get products compatible either for money or just because they dont put so much effort into it.
and i hope that intels socket 1155 and 1150 boards wont be doing this.
