gee, I would not make such a sweeping statement, under most conditions anyway, (hope that sounded wishy-washy enough) as "Any changes to an OS" at least in Linux. I do agree that the shared mem would normally be the case, and maybe the way the kernel gets the mem info from the Motherboard BIOS is different enough to cause the change, I just did not know if you had some info about that that I did not have. but hmmmmmm "irregardless of how previous version" is kind of a "closed source" perspective, if you don't mind my saying so. I like to think there are folks out in "open source land" that do have some concept of the different ways different changes in the OS reacts to different changes in configuration, and that they will share the info. a little different than trying to get M$ to explain why my pcmcia card reader will work under win 98 but not ME. ( I do "understand" their explanation, but I wish they would share a lot more info instead of expecting me to accept as fact certain propositions without allowing me to confirm independently the basics of the propositions.)
