They are definitely not your typical Dell. Basically a white box PC in feel. They have a regular AMI (?) BIOS and no SLIC tables which means Windows must be activated even using Dell's own CD's. The motherboard looked like a standard ATX.

I have two Dell Vostro 220's and my own Latitude E6500 that gets this now and then. The 220's have Intel video chipsets and my Lat has a Quadro. I don't see it near as much on my machine, may once a week. The Vostro's see this all day long and have fresh installed of Vista from the DVD. Everything is up to date with the BIOS and display drivers direct from Intel. -- Mike Gill -- David _____________________ If you don't want to stand behind our troops, feel free to stand in front of them. ~ Redneck saying ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
