    How to properly install drivers in RH 7.3

    I suggest you read through the nvidia readme file. Check through your XF86Config-4 file to make sure that all of your input devices, etc are configured properly. After installing the nvidia drivers, you will have to make a few modifications to the XF86Config-4 file.

You'll more than likely get some kind of a stop error if you don't first revert back to standard ide drivers before swapping mobo's. I used to remember the specifics of the problem, but i'm drawing a blank...

    Building New Computer, Need LOTS of Ports

    There are some usb port replicators out there, but just check to make sure the drivers/software you're working with will recognize or use the ports. I've had problems with them and do not recommend them, but that's probably one of the better solutions next to filling up all your pci slots...
