Interesting - I'd read that it was 4x comptible, and hadn't realised
that it didn't actually *do* 4x transactions... Though I do remember
that 2x motherboards were as fast as you could go when I got mine, which
was some time after the G400 was released.

At the risk of being facetious, deleting Outlook has always worked for
me ;-P.
