And replaced the MB out from under an installed system. 9G on SCSI, 45G Maxtor on the on-board ATA-100. For this MB to run reliably under load I had to select "BIOS Defaults", and maybe also "System Performance Setting" from "Optimal" to "Normal". Also disabled "PCI Master Read Caching" and "Delayed Transaction". Something in there was causing problems under load. The situation might also surface during installation. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@hiwaay.net ===================================================================== The human mind ordinarily operates at only ten percent of its capacity -- the rest is overhead for the operating system.
