Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, but...I also tried to figure out how to inform Intel and I also lost interest when it became clear they have dug a deep moat between us unwashed end-users and their product teams. I was depressed to find that at least one other person had already reported the problem on Intel's message board last spring. I saw neither a response to him nor any indication in the next bios release that his message had been heeded. If someone has an idea how to break through to the D510MO team, please give it your best shot. My thanks to Jeff for spending time on the workaround and to Stuart for hosting the EMC2 workshop. Despite the obvious benefits of using the Internet as a distributed workspace, these face-to-face gatherings of birds-of-a-feather are really important for keeping up the energy and enthusiasm of the EMC2 team. I wish I could have delivered my board in person!
