Especially from this system? Not yet (hardly any room: the video card is two and a half slots wide). I don't *think* that the problem can be with PCI cards, I think that it is an internal chipset thing. On the "APIC bus". | I ran a BP6 system until last year (although I didn't overclock: I had | 433 MHz processors) and never saw APIC errors. Interesting. If you google for APIC error BP6 you get a lot of hits. I saw a hint that it might be due to running the bus at 100MHz instead of the specified 66MHz: http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/9912.2/0109.html
