Hello,
This is interesting since I have a box on my lan that has
the same exact thing. Very irritating I agree! I seen a suggestion
that you move the card further from the cpu, I may just try that
and see if it helps. BTW, this box (p166) is dualboot win98/debian
testing and the noise is on both OS's! So, maybe when the new memory
arrives, I'll just move the card in the same time.
Good luck
