Oh, I wasn't trying to push Vista on you. I know full well that you have no willingness to move that far. However, I think you would be doing yourself a favor by at least moving to XP...since it is, afterall, still within mainstream support. Win2k was fine when you were using hardware that was released while it was still in mainstream support...but those days are gone. I doubt that Intel with P45/ICH10, JMicron with the JMB636, or Asus with the board as a whole did extensive validation with Win2k. That's the only point I was trying to make.
