Reported to TYAN some weeks back and were informed their engineers were "looking at it". Never got back to me other than that they were "within specs". Man-- you'd think they could have let the reporter know they released a BIOS update. Thanks for the head's up. Now, w.r.t. that memor timing issue. Could you elaborate on that? I've been seeing some glitches here and there but hadn't worked with these units enough to track them down. What revision are your new boards?? -- Best regards, Ken Gunderson Q: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. A: Why is putting a reply at the top of the message frowned upon?
