skips.
That's about the strangest thing I have ever seen. It _only_ happens when
browsing the Web so far.
I guess I should've bought that SB card linked earlier. Maybe I still can.

I 2nd the motion on Biostar. I bought 1 last ~March, NewEgg, built a
2.4 GHz P4 Linux box, had various seemingly random stability problems.
Tried Memtest on the RAM, which eventually showed RAM OK, Mbd fried w/
more than 1 stick of (brand-new, DDR400 Geil) RAM onboard. NewEgg
swapped it out for a FoxConn & no problems (w/ Mbd/CPU/RAM) since.
I haven't seen many Biostars on NewEgg anymore, I thought they might
have dropped them over warranty problems ....<br>
