Actually yes, two or three clone PCs have this. We are not using them on any significant USB activity but I recall them having problems sometime ago. > No such issues with the NVIDIA 780i southbridge on the desktop, or the > Intel > chipsets in the two laptops... about 20 HP xw6400 workstations, all them intel chipset, experience random problems with USB. In these, the most irritating effect are USB drivers unloading and failing to recognize any further USB activity till you reboot. On some Dell workstations, result is Windows freeze, but this is less frequent. No problems with any laptop so far, but sustained speed on the available laptops is lower. -- Ariel Rocholl Madrid, Spain -- http://www.piclist.com PIC/SX FAQ & list archive View/change your membership options at http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/piclist
