ECS ION Motherboard Boot Error

I tossed the RX board swap idea around, but never tried. For reference it is a Intel D945GCLF2D with a replaced low profile heatsink and fan to cool it.

as far as I know 2013 was to be the end of the ion line, but i kinda heard sometime earlier this year that there might be a 2014, but i'm not holding my breath. the 2013 ion software is labeled under a "legacy software" header on the AMI website. sounds like end of the road to me.

Just got the email that the 2014 ION software is now available.  Updated promo materials on their website now as well.  woo-hoo!!!  More games that people won't play!

14 "new" games. ::)

Thanks for the info on that intel board.

****edit****

Ok, now for a whole new can of worms....  what is the difference between the Intel D945GCLF2D and the Intel D945GCLF   ???   The d945GCLF is stupid cheap.  Less than $40!!!

looks like on the 2D version they just upped the amount of usb ports on the board (+2 internals) and added gigabit on the ethernet.

while the USB ports might not matter (i think there was extra anyways)... the change to the ethernet may come with a different chipset that would require a different driver.

D945GCLF2 works straight out of the box. I cant verify the "D" version though.

It looks like the only difference in the "D" version is that it has a built in tv encoder. All other chipsets look to be the same.

I also forgot to mention that the GCLF is a single core atom , where the GCLF2/D has a dual core atom.
