Thanks Ben (and everyone else that has replied),

I've settled the system down a little by moving my SB Live! card to slot 4
and ensuring through the BIOS that all cards have their own unique IRQ - not
easy I can assure you.

The Marvel is a good card, unfort there is no card out there that is the
best all round - video/3d(opengl)/2d. I think the Marvel would be
approaching the best all round if they just sorted out there drivers,
something I think most people would agree on.

Take care
Tris
