And even with that processor some motherboards just refuse to bring up the OS. (they hang at the very point you're describing). If I were you I'll check your processor revision (it's on the top of the chip). -- -------------------------------------------------------------- Petri Helenius, Fimeko-Data Oy Phone +358-0-458 2421 ----------------------------------!
