re : This behavior occurs because there is a timing-specific problem in the Universal Host Controller criver (Uhcd.sys), which may prevent USB devices from enumerating under specific timing conditions. So what you are saying is nothing new. It's relevant for K6 based systems on 350 MHz or higher , and its a BUG in win98se.... the pointed timing error is caused because the K6 does certain things TO FAST....AMD changed that in the K7 so it is on-par with the slowness of the p3 (geesh whatever people do to make things compatible...) ..I forgot what exactly, way to early here anyways to remember it, but I am sure others know what I mean when I say "timing error" ..it has occured before..and it shows microsofts incompetence in programming good software. Anyways, no risc for athlon based systems, so another reason to buy one pauleron!

Paul, sounds like a win98 flaw to me. I recall Intel having a recent bug that they fixed with a microcode change...at the expense of speed in the new coppermine....lets talk about that bug fix and how it slowed the copperminus down? Bill
