Can't get my damn dual pIII450@600 system working...

MPS version 1.4 added extended configuration tables to improve support for multiple PCI bus configurations and improve future expandability. It is also required for a secondary PCI bus to work without the need for a bridge. Newer versions of server operating systems will generally support MPS 1.4 and as such, you should change the BIOS Setup from the default of 1.1 to 1.4 if your operating system supports version 1.4. Leave it as 1.1 only if you are running older server OSes

Thx for the intrest guys! Seriously.
I was told not to use MPS 1.4, so i haven't tried yet. But since nothing seams to be working in MPS mode, i might as well give it a shoot. Ill only lose a couple hours of crunching anyways.

Right now its setup as Standard again, and has been running Seti non-stop(1 CPU only) for about a week now.

NT4/W2K does require 1.4 to work in dual cpu mode.

Couldn't have said it better, Guru ...
