Yeah, I think it's just a logging error. Don't know why it didn't hit
me before, but there's no way your machine has an AGP slot. I take it
you're saying you don't even have -1- video card, rather that your
video is on the motherboard (which would make sense).

difference is between the II and Pro chips. Actually, I have a way to
test that theory, thanks for the clue...
