Lonsway -

It is possible.  I did the same thing with a PD440FX in a Toshiba Infinia a
couple of years ago.  I got the info on how to do it on the Intel motherboard
newsgroup.  I think I still have some of the messages archived if you'd like me
to email them to you (don't want to clutter this newsgroup).  Let me know.
