FWIW, you can put me in Spot's skeptical camp. I reckon that save-to-disk probably works, but that it may be an invitation for headaches, and I personally wouldn't want to forgo things like main AGP graphics (not to mention 5 PCI slots.) But I certainly see its appeal, and wish you all the luck in the world with it. It isn't like you won't be left with a good system even if it dissapoints. I am skeptical too. Why would you need such a thing. WHy turn the computer off at all???? How are you backups going to run automatically at 3:00 AM when your computer is OFF? BTW: Laptops and IBM Aptiva's have had this feature for years. Sean
