Thank you for your info and I have already considered all
those avenues but the problem is that I have already
flashed the BIOS, I have the latest and greatest updates
from ATI, CREATIVE and also Windows. I can not update the
Onborad LAN as it is updated already with the latest
drivers for the ethernet card. As far as the HARD drives
I have which are Maxtor, Seagate and Western digital I can
not locate any drivers for those. Well when I insert the
new CPU the bios should jsut automatically set the
configurations for the most optimized and you are right
the memory should not matter but to no avail I still get
the same issue. Yes I do use azurus and that is not the
issue as it works fine under my old CPU 2.4ghz. I also
have the latest of azureus as well and the Java plug in
that you have to have with azureus. My question would be
then should I flash the Bios with the new CPU installed or
it should not matter.
