Jim, I can't get your original posts, so if you replied to mine I won't see them. Probably due to APNIC IP ranges I have blocked due to APNIC spam.
As I suspected, Gigabyte has no CPU support table for that mobo. Says "coming soon" the way they have been saying for a year for most of their boards. The manual is certainly out of date so it's going to be of little help. The latest BIOS update is from way back in 3-2001 and all is says is "supports PIII Coppermine D with board Rev. 3.0 only". Coppermine (aka Cu) is just a 'newer' PIII CPU on the .13u die. -Clint God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com ) At 04:11 p.m. 18/09/03 +1000, you wrote: >Ben, Thanks for that.
