In the BIOS I've left the setting to ACPI (which is the default). - Why should one want to change that to MPS 1.1/1.4? - What 760mpx board do you use? I'm using an old Adaptec 2940 PCI SCSI adaptor for my DAT streamer and it also works flawlessly (although I feel there is a little bit of improvement possible by tweaking the PCI latency). You might want to check http://www.2cpu.com for tips & tricks getting a dual athlon system running. I'm not connected to this site but it gave me all the help I needed while choosing the components for my nice new system. It is #1 for duallies!!! P.S.: Please cc me directly on any replies since I'm not subscribed to linux-kernel. TIA. Mit freundlichen Gruessen / best regards "The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up."
