SP from www.via.com.tw should be applied, plus VIA DMATOOL, plus HD_TACH would not hurt regardless of chip religion...sounds like a system integrator issue to me...besides, this is not an Offtopic'2000 group :-) I hope that you will sort it out eventually, - there is a number of articles on MSFT website. we even run W2K/NT4 on 4 SOYO 5EMA+ with "illegal" AMD K6-3 333 27/4 I know a website with rather high arrival rate hosted on MSI KT7Pro-2A boards with a Thunderbirds... SCSI, of course. Certainly, if you have fewer troubles w Intel, by all means use it, it's a fine chip, excellent ingeneering, simply a dead end from architectural point of view nowadays IMHO. And I would not care too much for the Co that goes as far as selling "Spy Inside". As for overclocking, those ingeneers aint stupid ;-) -- Best regards, Y mailto:ure.fake@home.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
