Ah, thank you.  It is interesting that another server I have here that uses 
the 440GX chipset is fine.  However, the other two servers I have that use 
the ServerWorks chipset both are "broken".  Is this just Intel changing 
things without telling the rest of the world?

Thanks for the explanation!
