Part of the problem is that the motherboards are made by asus. I love asus boards for windows boxes, but they never implement a correct, complete bios for their boards. The result is odd behavior and often hacks need to be performed to get them to work. For example, I have an asus board with an nforce2 chipset and an athelon xp 2000+. During a patch level to 5.21 i lost the ability to reboot the box remotely. The system would hang. Eventually, an upgrade to 5.3 release fixed the problem. However, my dual xeon dell workstation is top notch in 5.3. I don't have a great deal of faith in dell bioses but they can do better than asus! :( Lucas Holt Luke@FoolishGames.com ________________________________________________________ FoolishGames.com (Jewel Fan Site) JustJournal.com (Free blogging) FoolishGames.net (Enemy Territory IoM site)
