It uses the same audio chip so that should be OK but that is something
that I hadn't thought of tho.  I have a seperate video card which will
be moving over as well.  So that *should* work.  We hope.

I'm hoping this will be as painless as I hope it will be.  I just got to

certainly want sda to be correct.  ;-) 

Thanks.  You thought of something I hadn't thought of.
