not so much. I have no trouble to believe that BX's have such a cabability (at last !!) but the point is that it's not a WinNT feature, but a BX one. If you could 'track' your colleague to get some information on the register to tweek, you'd be useful to a lot of people. In the mean time, i'll try to download BX specs from Intel site. regards.
