Thanks Geoffrey,

	Reading back over the emails I see you mentioned running PC3200 
memory at 333MHz without problem in an earlier email. I read it at the 
time however I didn't "absorb" all of it. My apologies. The motherboard 
manual could have done a much better job providing info on correct 
processor/memory setup :-| Hope to be able to make it to one of the ALE 
meetings sometime and meet some of you folks and thank you for your 
help.

Thanks,
Jim Seymour
