Err! it appears like i didn't do my homework right! Thanks a ton again for pointing it out Mehul, you really saved a lot more than just my a.. :P I don't know when and how I missed it, but that was a disaster waiting to happen!! P5K64 WS is not an SLI compatible board; neither is P5K WS. So am back to square one! I really owe you one for this Mehul! :) Many thanks!! Sincere apologies to all for this. Big blunder on my part. Lesson learned! I think. Will get back with my selection of MoBo, this time, being careful. -- Regards kamal morjal -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
