Check out the IntelForum for >details! 🙂 No, it wasn't the SMC chipset, but some other one. I also just heard of a somewhat different problem in some server PC's that Intel wont even fix for some reason… >You're right! I saw it at the HCC here in Holland! It looks great, but >unfortunately there isn't any dedicated software for it. And I heard that >not all DOS and Windows stuff is happy with it… It runs all my Windows/DOS stuff, and faster than native Windows/DOS too. 🙂 >Same here! You look a lot like me. ;-D (Multitasking, <g>) Yep! 🙂 (At the moment, I have the new Internet Gophers and WWW browser up on the PC downloading some stuff.
