okay, will do :D actually I don't have any friends... that have anywhere full of 'spare' m/bs. Weird really :/ I'll RMA it if they'll accept, and if that doesn't work, I'll get a new one. got a separate /home partition, so if anything goes wrong, I can safely (I hope) reinstall it :D =================================== Farran Lee I'm only 15 :P
