Are you referring to USB 2.0? Just because the device list shows 2.0
Enhanced does not mean it is at every USB port. True? How do you test
for 2.0; plug in a digital camera or thumb drive and a stop watch?

echoing what Mr. O said, I've seen strange issues with USB on the Via
mobo's as well;
some to the point where touching the front-panel USB port (say,
beginning to insert a thumbdrive or cable!)
hard-rebooted the system. Thought something was not grounded
correctly, but have seen that on a number
of systems, along with non-reboot problems of usability. I'm sure not
all are doomed, though :)

It is Via, things are better now; backed up and restored the RAID from

was corrupted; might have been file indigestion. I'll run chkdsk, but
this External is the Maxtor 30 GB w/ bootup problems. It has been
working well with other systems.
Oops! Spoke too soon. System reboot while playing a DVD!
This DVD combo has been flaky in other systems and I'm concerned
about
that crucial memory. On the whole I think things will be
ok. I've got
to get some benchmarking utility in here. 3DMark2000, is that a good
one for XP or what are you using?
