I've seen this stated in the * Venus manual, although it looks like they've recently certified some * of the 16Mb based ones. Oh, manual, huh? We didn't get any, as these machines were donated -- didn't even know that they were Venus (Venii?) until I opened up the computer and compared the MB to the picture of it on Intel's web site. ;) Thanks for the info, I'll see if I can get them replaced. (Either the memory or motherboard, I'm really getting tired of all these Venus crap.) Satoshi
