Thanks

That sounds good and I am beginning to lean more towards 2nd Hard drive option.

I do have Vista Boot Pro but since I am not that far along I don't know if this will give me a booting option as you have described.

Regardless of which way I go with this, I am still concerned about the Chipset issues.

Do you know if this will become a moot point if I install a 2nd hard drive? Or is there something else that I would need, need to do and/or know about?

Thanks again.

With appreciation,
Charles
