[Bill Numerick]

Hi Grant,


I'm not running NT but i do have an Athlon 600 mhz with the KM7 board and it 

runs great.  I had a problem when i first got the system but turned out to 

be the manufacturer had the main graphics adapter set to PCI and it has a 

AGP card in it.  Since then its ran great. =)
