In reality, more that leaps, it seems that some value is mangled because the incorrect values are usually very small (< 5000) The patch everybody is talking about would correct both problems or only the leap forward? Because if the later, I'm on my own, I suppose. And that motherboard got good reviews... argh... and is not a strange one... argh again. Oh well. -- ------------------------- Jano 402450.at.cepsz.unizar.es -------------------------
