Remember what happened when trying to install 10.1 (I think it was) on a LG drive? It killed the drive! I also understand that driving a video card with the wrong settings can destroy a monitor. I've never done that, but I've had a couple occassions where Mandrake/Mandriva chose the wrong rates and caused the monitor to do ugly things that worried me. Point being, there are ways for software to affect hardware. Miark
