Sorry, I didn't make it last night. I just had to try out the rift. On the plus side, I think that I've worked out my usb issues. I just don't have a single thing plugged into the USB ports hooked up to the via chips. Apparently a lot of people with my motherboard and Gigabyte boards in general have problems with the USB. Too bad, my first pc (a 486SX) had a gigabyte motherboard with it's own proprietary vesa local bus video card(before pci). It was great.
