RE:As i said.. it wont run Broodwars or Diablo II. That could be a BIOS setting problem, try turning off 4x agp if it is on (it doesnt help much anyway). Also, turn of video caching if it is on. Shared interrupts can also be a problem, you may need to move one of the PCI cards to change the interrupt usage. Good Luck Terry

Stribe, RE: As i said.. it wont run Broodwars or Diablo II. Do you have a GeForce video card? If so, the drivers could be the problem. Make sure to have the new Detonator 2 drivers (version 5.22) installed and don't forget to install the Via 4-in-1 drivers. The Via chipset doesn't "like" Nvidia cards (or vice versa), so they often cause games to freeze. Word, Netscape etc. doesn't use the hardware acceleration (DirectDraw, Direct3D) of your video card, so the problems don't show up. Andreas
