One of the Gigabyte boards is about 8 months old the other about 12 months.

VNC is probably the easiest to work with and its free. I use it across a broadband connection and it work great.

Thanks for the replies, The Epox board looks ok would be nice to see more info on it.

I am thinking seriously of updating my home PC again as I am getting bored with it and I am on a quest for more speed. I have been hanging out for a KT333 Board, I looked at the Asus A7V333 http://usa.asus.com/mb/socketa/a7v333/overview.htm any other recommendations for AMD mobo's. Thanks Hudson-Manx

Since my job is IT we have implemented Windows XP Pro on a handful of machines where I work. I have encountered Blue Screen problems, the blue screens happened during installation right at the part when it saves settings. On the blue screen error it just gives a load of crap about disabling memory cache settings. The only connection that I found on the two machines was that they both had Gigabyte motherboards. But Windows 2000 works ok. Mr Gates says that Win XP is stable, stable my a**.

I buy my cooling stuff through www.chillblast.co.uk check out there site you might find some useful information. Thanks Hudson-Manx

The only solution I can come up with it MS Exchange 2000 Conferencing server, this is what I use at work, unfortunately this is a costly option. Try reading up on Video Conferencing, Technet would be your best place to start. Good Luck, Hudson-Manx

Try www.insight.com I use the UK equivalent. Thanks Hudson-Manx
