Thanks Aaron! This is the MOBO I'm currently running with a P4 2.4GHz. It's
in a Antec tower with a Antec 400 watt SmartPower power supply. There is
some issues with memory with this MOBO, so I'm running only 512 k, I think
it's Kingston memory. PCI slots are standard 133.
When I have time I'm going to wipe a 160 GB drive to start fresh and install
Paris on XP. Do you think I should go with server pack 1 or 2?

Hi Aaron,
The new Norton Ghost sucks balls! :)
Acronis True Image 11 is excellent as well as Paragon drive back up.
Paragon is probably a bit to techie for most folks though.

sad, yet not surprising. Norton fouled up everything else they do I guess it
