The Attansic L1E stuff is becoming more and more common here on motherboards in the States. Yong-Hyeon, I can get you a P5Q SE motherboard and send it your way (with CPU + memory as well, if need be), if you'd like. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
