Hello again Paul. I think that you're right. The EPROM is marked 'M36'. I am using it in a Pentium 3 machine. Later it will probably be used in an Athlon XP box. I take it that this is probably causing my problem? Am I correct in assuming that I need to obtain a 'W36' chip and swap the two? Does anyone know if the revision number of the chip is significant? I was told that the original card was revision 1.5. Thanks for your help, Michael Nelson
