Ummm, if the voltages are off...? I will try the gimmick tomorrow (as he's off and glued to it today). When he bought the thing it was over clocked to 500mhz. It crashed all the time. We reinstalled windows two or three times before I figured this out and set it to 450. It was a little better until the fan started acting up. But it's so slow as it is, I just may have to pay a visit to my favorite on-line shops. Thanks alot, -s
