I know it's probably not what you want to hear, but it's highly likely it's going to be said if I don't anyway :-) If it's because of stability, you *could* give NetBSD or OpenBSD a try perhaps? I had even 4.x panic'ing and locking up on my machine, where NetBSD 3 is totally stable. I *think* NetBSD 3 supports ICH7 at least. -- Mark Cullen <mark.r.cullen@gmail.com> BSc (Hons), Computer Science
