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......

as for your p.s.   i don't know --i just hit reply

later
