Some ASUS boards (mostly P3B-F) would either freeze or self reboot when using PhotoShop 5. Everything else would run perfectly. Disabling MMX optimizations in this software would "solve" the problem. Another solution found on the web (sorry, I don't have the URL at hand) is to add two or three additionnal capacitors on the back of the board, to solve the electric instabilities that cause the reboots. So yes, I can believe that that sort of "corner case" problems exist. Best regards, Pierre. -- We are the dot in 0.2 Kb/s
