Seems to work just great here... I also did some testing before i applied it. I tested Uberbios for my mb, but it didn't help at all, actually it seemed quite odd... (Strange values etc) Now i'm back to normal bios and running Ross' quality work again! =3D) Keep up the good work guys, seems like the trade off is getting smaller and smaller =3D). Btw, uptime before i decided that i should update kernel was 17 days (haven't had any nforce in quite some time when running ross' quality work, so the uptime more reflects my eagerness to update kernels and stuff) --=20 Ian Kumlien -- http://pomac.netswarm.net --=-qhL4O+M94tW6Qps768DW Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.4 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQBALpc67F3Euyc51N8RAtRFAJ0RC25a6S/hczEcij5rbLNiD8PEiwCfRahU 57cEORQ5M9bTGYrUrfHfpFc= =Zhcm -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-qhL4O+M94tW6Qps768DW--
