Hi, Does this motherboard have an on board Ethernet port. If so, disable it and install a PCI NIC. There are known problems with on board NICs. Also what type of slot are you putting a Digium card in... Only PCI-X and PCI can be used with Digium boards. PCI Express does not work... Thanks

No. APIC was in 2.4 as well, but you need an Intel CPU in there (I think) in order to be able to take advantage of it. AMD's don't have this option available. APIC support is chipset dependent. My old Athlon 2600+ is offline, so I cannot verify it, but the Athlon64 and Opteron systems are

It was, and it wasn't. It's good to know there are other AMD systems that do support it. I didn't know that. I haven't come across one here that did, but I've not worked with alot of Opteron systems. On 11/9/05, Andrew Kohlsmith [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Wednesday 09 November 2005 13:36, BJ
