I'm glad to hear there are people that don't have any problems with this
card, and I find that encouraging.
Yes, you were right, the graphics card was sharing an interrupt with the
ethernet card, I moved the ethernet card and I haven't had any problems since
then. I had overlooked this possibility since that setup had seemed to be
working for a long time under another OS. But then again, under that
particular OS, complete crashes and reboots were a regular event!
[Now I just hope that it's ok for the ethernet card to share an irq with the
usb controllers and the win-tv GO card!]
Thanks,
