That is strange Duke, have you tried it on an Athlon? I use a 600MHZ P3 for most of my computing. I installed it without any difficulty. It's really well designed, but difficult to explain. Let me see if I can give it a shot though... It looks just like I.E. but moves all the top icons to the left to allow room for a television camera section in the right hand corner of your screen. Next to the camera box, is a list of options. T.V. Mode, Playlist, Video's, MP3 and Chat. You can choose to shrink the T.V screen and have a normal looking browser with a click, or keep it up all the time. Included is a bunch of options for how the information can be displayed, in what order and so forth. But I've only just begun tweaking around with them. All in all, it's quite unique and worth the download. Instead of multiple programs you can just run the browser. It does have one drawback that I've noticed though. Only one browser of its type can be opened at a time. So when you want multiple browsers open to quickly scan the web, you need to use your original I.E. along with it. Since it looks so closely to I.E. the shift is relatively transparent.

Re: And I did find this under comments (at the site): Well, here's another single data point for you. One of our few 840 systems (a Gateway), which was procured because someone fell for the Rambus line, needs a new motherboard - again. That's right, we are looking at motherboard number 3 for this machine. The first board just died, but the second failure occurred after a technician put new memory in, so may not have been Gateway's (or Intel's) fault. The new RIMMs were supposed to be compatible, but didn't work, and after putting the old RIMMs and terminators back into their original slots, the system still won't even post. Fortunately it's covered under warranty, but I can well understand that Gateway is having trouble. The fragile, dual channel, expensive, terminators required, Rambus setup used by 840 and P4 continues to be a nightmare for Intel. Doesn't Gateway use Intel motherboards in their 840 system? Those particular Intel products don't seem very reliable, do they? In checking Gateway's website, I notice that they now apparently offer only 820 based systems, despite Intel designating 820 end of life and and encouraging OEMs to market 840 systems (and P4s) as workstations. Maybe we weren't the only Gateway customer whose 840s had problems. Dan
