Well, I loaded it last night. For whatever reason, 7.1 with Yast2 didn't see the 2nd P-III, so there's no SMP. Anyone know how to easily fix this? Audio is fine. There's no acceleration with the G400, but I haven't updated X86 nor KDE yet. One thing that some of you may find of interest, is that even without SMP, it's NOTICEABLY FASTER with 7.1 than it was with NT4.0 (SP4) that it was loaded with from IBM. And, last, if anyone's looking for a new "box," keep an eye on uBid...there was another of these beauties listed yesterday. I was inside this beast last night before I did the install, and the quality of components...case "on down," is FAR better than any other made today...bar none! I've been inside out RS6000' here a number of times, but not any of IBM's PCs till now. VERY impressive. Fred -- -- ----/ / _ Fred A.
