I have many other driver and i2c-core reviews in the works at the moment so it's unlikely that I will have a spare cycle anytime soon. Someone else will have to do it. My "bad luck" still applies. If Abit were using standard chips instead of their own proprietary undocumented stuff, Rick would have full hardware monitoring support for his board already. But of course if the design of these new uGuru chips is better than the original ones, that's still good news. -- Jean Delvare
