ASUS P4PE Motherboard Questions?

[JonathanF]

just installed my ASUS P4PE Motherboard with the Intel P4 2.8 GHZ CPU and everything is working fine except the following.

I installed all of the Software and Device Drivers from the ASUS CD-ROM Disk, but even though it shows in Device Manager the Onboard Gigabyte NIC Card, it does not work.

Also I cannot use the Computer's Keyboard Space Key to automatically boot up the Computer.

I had to install an old 3COM NIC Card to get onto the Internet.

Even though the Motherboard will support up to PC-2700 (DDR 333) RAM, will I gain any benefit if I use my Kingston Hyper-X PC-3500 DDR RAM.

Any Ideas on the Resolutions to these two problems?

While your faster memory won't automatically work at full speed, you can probably get higher memory timings out of it at DDR333 speed than if you used DDR333 to begin with, and it will support higher overclocks. As for your NIC issue, it sounds like a driver problem.
