(in) compatibility with the M4A77TD motherboard

To date, I have found the following hardware to be incompatible with the M4A77TD.

All PCI slots use shared IRQs, which means some older add in cards do not work:
  1.  Sound Blaster Live
  2. Paradise Ultra 66 IDE controller
The BIOS only supports a subset of the known methods to make a CD bootable, which means the following disks cannot be used:
  1. Windows XP SP3 slip-streamed (The slip-streaming was done at work, so I don't know exactly how they did it - but the disk boot just fine in every other computer I've tried it in).  Note that a regular WinXPSP3 CD (from MSDN) works fine.
