Hi Stork, yes it is the same card. There is a good discussion about it on gearslutz with regards to the chipset. I should have just brought the one you had when building but like I say I thought my card (a siig with ti chipset) was working. I just wanted to make the point it's the ti chipset revision to check, others have had success with siig cards but they must have the xio2213.
It was a dumb move on my part, but we live and learn and figured if someone is tearing thier hair out over it, it may help.
Thanks for all the work and help with the post and build.
