It could be that, but then there's been a few revisions of the graphite board AFAIK. Quatum3D (the maker of the graphite) basically built to what was needed at that time. There's a few LAN drivers on the system however, aswell as various onboard and PCI soundcard drivers. It could be that the BIOS did something wacky, but again, it looks just like any old build of Win 2k
