I have done the memtest(no errors), but the nv driver is.... SLOW... I think most of my issues are related to the fact that i went from Etch to adding the sources for Lenny, upgrading... then having NVIDIA not work, so I went back to Etch, but still with all the upgrades for Lenny.. If I could get it all back to Etch I would, but I don't want to reinstall.. -- Paul Cartwright Registered Linux user # 367800 Registered Ubuntu User #12459
