Not to worry - bigger fish to fry!

Important that bge, common on server-grade MB - and nVidia on consumer-grade 
become better sorted f'rinstance.

Easy enough to avoid el-cheapo wannabee's like Attansic 'til Realtek has eaten

Even try-anything-cheap Asus don't seem to use them much - not even on some of 
their other P5 MB.
