Tony,
I have now had 3 video cards fail in this machine, and I'm beginning to suspect the mobo. I wouldn't want to kill your S3 board. Also, I'm hoping to have this
working again a bit sooner than the next Help Desk meeting on 3/4! ASUS is supposed to have released the new K7V133 mobo. I checked with a local store and was
told to call back Thursday (tomorrow) for availability.

If I don't have it fixed by 3/4, I will try to get it to the Help Desk meeting.
