Very true, it would be classified as an i386. I do hope to get a mobo/cpu that'll use an AMD64 kernel. :) > It is just a > plain simple i386 system (although a nice one). Thanks for the compliment :) As a follow up, I wiped the gentoo from my system and put on debian unstable. EVERYTHING went well, AFTER I disabled the highpoint driver... Edward J.
