r300 based. brilliant. Thanks for that. (I have a FireGL-T2 in my 
laptop, so keeping the server & laptop similiar will be an advantage 
when it comes to comparisons). It's not SE based AFAIK. I did manage to 
find that the SE's were 64bit & the 9550 itself is 128, and the blurb 
says 128 bit.

TIA
