I had some problems with my audio sounding really screwed up and slow (SB 16 ISA). Finally figured out it was irq conflicts. Went in the bios and disabled *everything* I don't use. No parallel, serial, unused IDE channels, etc. Works great now, its a BP6 with dual 466's, agp geforce4, pci matrox millenium II, pci 3com 905b, isa SB16, one drive on the primary ide and one on one of the extra dma66 channels provided. Also, to reinforce what others have said about hard drives: its got an Enermax 360somethingorother that cost me about USD$55. I bought it after my 400w USD$20 ps went bad. Just wouldn't boot one morning. However, I never had crashes even when the IRQ conflicts happened, they just bothered me because the sound was horrible. -- -johann koenig Now Playing: The Beautiful Mistake - A Safe Place : Plea For Peace - Take Action (Vol. 2 Disc 1) Today is Pungenday, the 25th day of Discord in the YOLD 3170 My public pgp key: http://mental-graffiti.com/pgp/johannkoenig.pgp
