I've got an FIC PA-2007 and a Fujitsu MPA3035AT (if my memory serves me right), 3.5Gb UDMA-33 disk. Well, it all sped up a bit [lot] when I turned on the UDMA flags at boot. Also, my previous home PC motherboard was SiS based, I'm now using VIA. Neither of these boards have any problems. At work all our boards are Intel-based, and the comparison isn't good. IMHO Intel get away with selling junk just because they can rely on being the "market leader". steve Steve Roome - Vision Interactive Ltd.
