LOL....Actually that is not too far from the truth. I really only got the machine that I put SP4 on and then had trouble with the Diamond Supra ISDN TA on back up a couple of days ago. I ended up reinstalling NT, since I didn't do a drive image before. I know, I know, everyone is going to say I told you so, but I tend to work and play with puters' so much anymore that I take them for granted alot lately. Kind of like the old carpenter that never wears his safety glasses when using a skil saw. Someday I may learn. :-) I always have several machines available to me so it was no big deal, but the one I had trouble with is my sweet Celeron 300a that does 504mhz, so it was nice to get it back up. It really sreams. FWIW I've used SP4 on a number of other NT workstations and small servers without trouble, but I haven't ventured into our main servers yet. I think I'll do a drive image on those first. Seems like some of the posts that have shown pricing are kind of high lately. Currently I'm getting OEM 300a's for $65 and BH6's for $105 from a local distributor. Seems like the new 400mhz is putting pressure on the 300's. You do have to add a fan to the celery, and the CPU is not tested at 450 although I have never had one not do it yet. I am glad to see OC'ing getting broad acceptance. Good Luck Dan
