It may not be worth it in your case. I know that as a victim of the nForce2/ ATi video adapter problem, it was worth if for me. Particularly since I would occasionally get segfaults from X doing wierd things to the card, which I am almost positive has to do with the nForce2 AGPGART interface. Either way, it was relatively painless and took all of about 10 minutes and a restart of the X server. -Roberto ___________________________________________________ Yahoo!
