Thanks for the heads-up Bob. The P4C800 Deluxe is the MOBO I switched to in order to run my original 3 board set and it still does it handily (4 years worth of Wiley's fixes later) with 2 to 3% CPU usage (in spite of winblows) although WSJT will spike it to 30% during decode.
Can you elucidate on the Model you bought? Or does Stor only make one thing?
