larry, exactly what issues do you have with the on-board realtek? If you mentioned it in a previous post, I missed it.

If you are referring to something besides enhancements when you refer to excelleration then I can't find any such setting anywhere on my system. Turning off such excelleration was an option with my XP Computer, but doesn't seem to be the case with this one .
