i just re formatted my whole pc.
I did windows update and im up to date now.
Im pretty sure i have sp2...i think
And still no results.
The xp cd i have is a restore cd for emachines t6420. I got it from Best Buy.
I did full restore...it wiped out everything. I though it would work but nothing.
In device manager it shows both the opterons,but under computer it shows ACPI.
would you know if my motherboard is incompatible?
