I have the same issue on a home built nForce2 board by DFI with a Athlon XP-M 2500+. It also doesn't seem to see my ATI 9800 Pro 128Mb. My life goes on. :D
FYI for all to know... it installs like a champ on a Hewlett-Packard zd8080 since they use really common chipsets for everything.
I work for HP technical support - so I can test it on these units anytime.
