Sorry for having you type that much. My fault since I was not clear with my 
question.  

I was simply wondering if you were referring to the long modes as defined by 
AMD or if that was yet another unknown concept - maybe you should use the 
acronymes as the manufacturers do instead of inventing your own :-) keeps you 
from having to type long emails like this :-)

Peter.
