fp,
I got really lucky on this one. It seems I chose the "wrong" DIMM
slots...........
Yes, I'll read up on this; but, when I move the dimms from the "orange"
slots to the "black" slots, the damn thing fired up like nobodies
business! I am still sitting here is a mild state of shock! (after 4 hours!)
Thank you.
Best,
Duncan

1st thing I would do is clear the cmos, sometimes something there keeps
them back. Make sure clear cmos jumper is in the normal position, they
sometimes ship in the clear position.
Powersupply all connections hooked up.
