Unfortanetly I won't be able to stress it too much, I don't own any EDO simms which is one of the things that should make this board faster than the Neptune chip set. It also came in the standard SRAM cache instead of the burst/sync cache and you can't field upgrade it. > As far as the Bt controllers go, I have to say that they're still a > little twitchy, even with the latest firmware revision (4.21 I > believe?) and I, too, have the problem where the machine hangs on > reboot after running the Bt's BIOS.

I didn't play with it much, I will when I get a chance. It really looks to be a hard lockup of the machine, heck my #9GXE led even stays red :-(. > Jordan -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Custom computers for FreeBSD
