I disabled the onboard lan because even though it worked it was grabbing the same irq as sound. The company sent me a new lan card which helped that it seems. This is an Athlon 1600+ XP with 512MB PC2100 DDR, 266 MHZ SDRAM, I had the cooler master added plus an extra case fan. This is a brand new machine. I have Win95 as a dual boot and Win does not have the problems that my Linux side has.
