The 5.10 screwed up my sound. I could not open the Soundstorm app. Had to
hack the registry to get sound working properly again. Also, after loading
the 5.10 XP asked me to reactivate again and it failed saying I had
activated the key too may times. Version 2.45 always worked fine, perfectly
stable, so I went back to them. I think 5.10 is mainly for Nforce3 and 4
support. My Epox 8RDA+ motherboard is similar to your Asus Deluxe because
they both have Soundstorm APU. Be careful with the IDE driver that comes
with 5.10. It could hose you up good.
