Thanks for working on this | Jack! Hmm, I forgot about the 2970 which are AMD based. Can you check the BIOS to see if there is an option to turn it on? I think this is an Intel feature. AMD might have something close? We have one 2970 that we've played with a little but not much. I can't say for sure if it has it. Doug A.
