Moose, Thanks for the response! Actually I have several very similar motherboards, one manual is for a i430VX "Mainboard" (but all the drivers are for SiS), with a Cyrix 6x86MX PR233 cpu. Yeah, I can try it. Probably take a few days or a good benchmark to see whether the machine is actually slowed down or not. Might do it -- if I do, I'll post results to the list. Randy Kramer
