I wouldnt worry to much That seems quiet normal for an amd based board.

My work desktop has 4 entries for mother board resources and 2 entries for the memroy controller.

The actual configuration of the board and the rig determines which resources are used and which show up in device manager.

As long as you dont have any yellow exlamation or question marks against any of the devices listed, you have nothing to worry about.

IF IT AINT BROKE, DONT FIX IT

Thanks. I had a few yellow question marks for Serial ATA and RAID devices, but I just clicked Reinstall under Properties and they installed. No yellow exclamations or questions marks to be found, now.

Also, though, I noticed that I also have multiple instances of USB Root Hub and Standard OpenHCD USB Hub Controller under my USB tab in Device Manager. Since my AMD board also controls the USB port, I figure this is normal, as well?

You are quiet correct, depending on the number of active usb ports usb 1.1 usb 2.1 etc there will be anything upto 10 of these entries etc.

Thanks alot! Glad to have that cleared up.

Now if I can only get my networking issue solved, but I'd really need someone with P2P knowledge for that one.
