Hmm, I doubt it, I use only prime quality RAM here (because of exactly that reason), and the same RAM works just fine in a 1662 board, which is just as picky... I have just changed the videocard once again in one of those machines to an old Diamond Viper PRO video (P9100 based) and it hasn't failed yet, in fact I'm writing this in a xterm on it.... I have a wierd feeling that these boards don't like S3 cards, all the others we've tried where different vinatage S3 boards. Well we'll see what happens, but it hasn't that stable with any of the other cards... Anybody else seen problems with S3 cards ?? -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Søren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org) FreeBSD Core Team Even more code to hack -- will it ever end? ..
