I'm just not adventurous enough over here to by running CURRENT on this box.  
Although I've just got it, it's already become my primary PC for home and 
work.  Pretty much a production machine for my uses.

Just as a side thought, but have you tried setting the PCI settings in the 
bios on over to Auto?  Also, are you up to date on your bios config?  These 
were very early steps for me, so I couldn't tell you if they would have any 
effect on the problem you're seeing.

BTW, I have the link on IBM's site now for the updates.  Seems to be a real 
snappy server during the day.
