Mobo, cpu, memory and psu now. And a fresh ATI (Xtacy made) 9200SE video card, the old nvidia failed and apparently compromised something on the old Biostar M7VIB mobo as it was going. Its now a Biostar M7NCD-Pro, with a 2800XP athlon replaceing the 1400XP on the old board. The new memory, 2 sticks of 512Mb, is DDR400 rated. And I just built, and am booted to, 2.6.7. I'll see how long it stays up. And despite all this trouble, I'm once again slowly climbing in the seti@home ranks :-) >-- wli -- Cheers, Gene "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
