Just an update to let you know how i got on. <br>After installing my new motherboard suse10 fired up. all but the xwindows worked. after much stressing and forum reading on another PC i managed to get the thing back in one piece.
<br>as simple as <br>sax2 -r<br>redetected my cards and i was up and running. however XP was not so forgiving and i ended up with a full re-install. just one more tick in the box for why i swapped.<br>next stop a refrigerated heat sink and some hardcore overclocking.
<br>Chears for all the previous suggestions and advice.<br> <br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 12/10/05, <b class="gmail_sendername">Michael A Orton</b> <<a href="mailto:michael_orton@tiscali.co.uk">michael_orton@tiscali.co.uk
