And second one: Do you have one, two, or three memory modules installed on the board? If your answer is <=256MB, one module, no surprise then, as AFAIK nobody with such config suffers from the problem. But checking also number of memory modules looks more like black magic that anything else. Hopefully VIA will answer... Thanks, Petr Vandrovec vandrove@vc.cvut.cz
