Just wanted to follow up my old post and say that these Transcend modules were the only option that worked for us. Neither BIOS settings nor other compact flash adapters (even the SYBA) would work in those Intel desktop boards. So hopefully I will spare others the headache by saying just buy the transcend modules for a PC install using Intel boards. Maybe this will change with future chipsets and boards but we've tried several from D865G, D915P, D945P, D945G series and only the transcend modules will boot. Thanks again to all who helped me with this. And many thanks to you, Manuel and colleagues, for an amazing product and gracious gift to the community.
