	Before you get too worried I would try it and see if it works.  Even
if there is a hardware problem, it may only occur in certain batches of
boards, or with certain motherboard revisions, or if you get unlucky and get
a more marginal than normal one.  GVP does not, in general, have a bad
reputation, so I would say your chances are pretty good of things working.
If they don't, then worry about the problem or yell at GVP.
