hmm.. I never did OC, maybe that's why? NIC seems ok for me. It used to
blue-screen on boot at least once a month but since I did the flash upgrade
it's been ok.

Interesting, as that's completely the opposite of my experience. I owned a
number of 680i boards and trashed them all (overheating when overclocked,
shoddy NICs, or general instability). A Gigabyte P35 board went in my main
system as a replacement, and was easily the most stable and long-lasting
platform I've ran since the venerable 440BX.
I think you can find numerous examples of me railing against 680i in the
list archives. :)

Thanks Tim. Yes it's the 680i chipset. The board has been solid for the
past five years with a flash upgrade about a year ago. In fact the whole
build has been solid, kudos to list member Chris who built it for me. I
just ordered the 2 x 1GB Corsair sticks. I'm going for the minimum
investment at this point as I expect to have a new 64-bit system by this
time next year.
