It was a BIOS error noted in the release notes for the BIOS stating problems with SMP. The IntellisStation use the Intel 840 chipset. Prior 6889 used the BX chipset and we just fine. Since IBM rebrands the same hardware under different names you could be using the same board and then need the BIOS update. Doug A.
