I put Red Hat 9 back on it last night just for grins KM>and it runs perfectly, plenty fast. KM> KM>Is there a way to make FC3 work properly without turning off the DMA? KM>I didn't have to do it with RH9, but with FC2 or FC3 I have to turn it KM>off and it's so slow it's unusable. Is there any way around this? ============================= Do a Google search on "i810 & FC3" You'll get your answer. You'll need to download a small replacement driver for the i810. I did on my Sony Vaio and it worked like a charm. Best, Mike -- "The man who views the world the same at 50 as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life" --Muhammad Ali
