I buy them with assembled to my spec, but I guess they slipped in something I didnt notice :( Anyway, the mb is an ASUS tusi-m with the 630et chipset. The bios is also the latest one (1011), so no upgrade path available there. I am going to try stable on these and see if that clears up this issue. If it is a driver issue, who can I work with to get this resolved? Bill On Sat, 16 Feb 2002, W.
