1.	I plug in 4GB of memory into my P8SAA board but Windows XP only shows 3GB of memory. Everything works fine but why does Windows shows only 3GB of memory?
2.	Windows requires a floppy disk to load the driver with the F6 key. My server does not have a regular floppy so I tried to use a USB floppy. Now the Windows load is stopping after formatting the hard drive partition and asking for the driver file, but it can not read it from the floppy. What can I do?
3.	I can’t find the Windows Server 2008 32/64bit driver for X7DBE+ on your website. Where are the RAID and other drivers located?
4.	What is the difference between SuperDoctor III and IPMI?
5.	I have a X7DCA-3 board and I cannot install VMWare because it does not recognize my SAS hard drives. What is the issue?
6.	I just got my SuperServer 7043P-8R. I have completed installing the processors, memory and hard drives. When the Power is applied, the system BIOS displays and everything on it looks good but there is very loud alarm buzzer ON and I thought the power supply had gone bad. But all the LED’s on power supply are lit green which I believe means the Power Supply is good. Any suggestion on what may be causing the alarm trigger ON and how I can turn OFF the alarm?
7.	Does the SATA RAID in the P4SCI, P4SCT, P4SCT+, P4SCT+II support the Linux operating system?
8.	What are the other differences between Nehalem-EP and Bloomfield cores?
9.	Someone else installed SD III and left the company. I don't have the Admin ID & password to use it. Is there a way to retrieve it or should I just remove and reinstall?
10.	I have installed 4GB of memory on my E7505 board, but in Windows under "My Computer" and the in the task manager I only see 3GB?
