i am a gamer and so the noaccel is not an option.. The only thing that bothers me is when i leave everything alone for overnight..... then my box is locked up....... not while i am doing stuff... just when it is sitting idle.... i wish i had some mad skillz to correct the driver.... btw what kind of hardware is yours again... mine is a dual ghz so i am wondering if mine is smp related......
