Mac folks are seeing the same problem: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=128985 http://www.insanelymac.com/lofiversion/index.php/t99634.html Wikipedia states the 88SE6121, not the 88SE6102, is used on P5Q series boards. But the P5Q SE motherboard manual states it's a 88SE6102. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Marvell_Technology_Group_chipsets So either the motherboard manual is wrong, Wikipedia is wrong, or the P5Q SE and P5Q Pro contain different models/versions of ICs. When I get a P5Q SE for Yong-Hyeon, I'll make note of what's silkscreened on the ASIC. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
