j,
I will truly accept your wisdom here, but, this MSI card just would not
re-boot w/o a nag msg about its' missing HD Audio Driver! Even after
upgrading to WinXPpro! I'm not certain what stopped the nag msgs ATM. It
was either to allow the install of the ATI HD Audio Driver, or, digging
thru the P5Q3 bios and enabling the HD Audio business...................
Another new user stupid, perhaps.......
Anyway, the CP/DM is now clear of any/all yellow questions marks, and the
machine is running like a brick at now 41C (believe the hs and AS5 is
settling in)! Hello new millennium, good-bye W2Kpro!
Best,
Duncan

DVI-HDMI adapter is precisely what comes bundled with ATI cards and the HQ
audio driver can safely be disabled is not using HDMI. Of the 2 brands of
3870x2's I went through I also got 2 DVI-VGA & 1 Svideo-Component adapters
also.
Load the driver, then disable it is what I did.

JB,
OK, on the next nag msg, I will install it to get rid of the yellow
"other devices" object in the CP/DM.
Yes, I comprehend the HDMI interface. I have seen it on many of the
higher level video cards.
The 4350 does not have one. It has a VGA interface and a DVI inteface,
the 4670 just has 2 DVI interfaces; I have DVI-VGA adapters
ATI make/supply with many cards a DVI to HDMI adaptor, and through that
adaptor the audio is carried also.
