Thanks Joe,
The conversion is complete! And does data now fly! Never seen this PC move
data this fast..... :) If my xdsl isp wishes to complain about my change of
MAC addy, I'll deal with this in the future!
Turns out, on the Asus A7N8X-E-deluxe the GLan chip (Marvell 88E8001-LKJ)
is not enabled in bios. It has a jumper on the m/b to turn it on. Yes, did
have to disable the nVidia/RealTek chipset in bios.
Even better, W2K does NOT have a default driver for the Marvell chip; it
did stop on boot up and let point W2K to the latest Marvell driver. Worked
like a champ. This PC is FAST now!
New nics are in-transit!!!!......... :)
Best,
Duncan

Everything was great till 6.
(here, I am going to assume that W2K has a default driver for the new nic)
Don't assume this. Otherwise sounds ok to me.
