Well, I suspect it may be the age of my mobo. I have a Abit NF7 rev 2.0
which has been around a while. It may be that other peoples mobo is
newer and has some "enhancements" that my old rig doesn't have. I have
always found that age is the reason for things acting different. I need
a new rig. o_O

I to would be interested in knowing if it is something else causing
this. Could it be that some mobos report differently? Could it be
something to do with the chipset being used?
