David: We will start our internal procurement and I will tell you what we will ship to you in a few days. Give me your shipping address and your cell phone so that express service can contact you.

That is a great idea. I can accept the motherboard + processor, and I do have DDR2 RAM. So this is a good way to verify the 627DHG driver, especially as we are working on several features including SuperIO locking. You will also be pleased to know that I have submitted a final patch for review, so the 627DHG driver will be released very soon now. (Once the patch is approved by Jean Delvare, I will be announcing it to all those who have expressed an interest in testing the new driver, and I will CC you on that announcement.) I like in the United States, for shipping purposes. Thanks for your support! David P.S. There is a request on lm-sensors to backport the driver to the 2.4 kernel: > As to the backports to PREVIOUS kernels like Red Hat Advanced server > (Linux 2.4 kernel), it is OUR (Winbond) responsibility, not yours.
