1.	I plug in 4GB of memory into my P8SAA board but Windows XP only shows 3GB of memory. Everything works fine but why does Windows shows only 3GB of memory?
2.	Windows requires a floppy disk to load the driver with the F6 key. My server does not have a regular floppy so I tried to use a USB floppy. Now the Windows load is stopping after formatting the hard drive partition and asking for the driver file, but it can not read it from the floppy. What can I do?
3.	I can’t find the Windows Server 2008 32/64bit driver for X7DBE+ on your website. Where are the RAID and other drivers located?
4.	I have your X8DTT-IBQF. Can I use ipmitool to change the BMC ""LAN Select"" setting?
5.	I just got my SuperServer 7043P-8R. I have completed installing the processors, memory and hard drives. When the Power is applied, the system BIOS displays and everything on it looks good but there is very loud alarm buzzer ON and I thought the power supply had gone bad. But all the LED’s on power supply are lit green which I believe means the Power Supply is good. Any suggestion on what may be causing the alarm trigger ON and how I can turn OFF the alarm?
6.	What's the difference between the 82579LM and 82574L chipsets for the upcoming of the socket type LGA1155 motherboard?
7.	I have a X7DCA-3 board and I cannot install VMWare because it does not recognize my SAS hard drives. What is the issue?
8.	What is the difference between SuperDoctor III and IPMI?
9.	I like to use IPMITool to monitor the system status of the X7DBU motherboard & the power supply. Do you have any manual or instruction?
10.	Is there a BIOS recovery procedure for your X8xxx series boards?
