Ah,  ok.  I thought I saw 5597 pop up somewhere,  though.

Ok.

I seem to have gotten at least some help on that so far.  I like this
board,  it's apparent speed in a couple of areas is much faster than what
I'd been running before -- with the same CPU and ram in there.  I called
them today and asked them if they could find me another one,  didn't like
the reply much though.
