[QUOTE="m0rph3us, post: 213728, member: 57048"] I've just had to send 4 terratec cards back, they were all 2400i's and they were preventing my system from booting, I originally had the system running fine, then I installed the cards and it just wouldnt boot, it just threw up a memory error, I tried an ubuntu boot CD too with the cards and it just showed an error on the PCI interfces somewhere (unspecified error). A short chat with terratec and they told me that there are known issues with the early production run of cards, if the main chip on the card ends in B1 then it can cause crashes with certain motherboards that have an intel chipset, the B2 series seem fine and dont have the issue, sadly there is no external identifier on the box whether you are buying a B1 or a B2 chipset equipped card. The fault can also manifest itself by system hangups or spurious errors on the PCI so if you have a terratec 2400 and it's behaving oddly then have a look if you've got a B1. regards m0rph3us [/QUOTE]
