This is a brand new PC (IBM/Lenovo ThinkCentre M51) with 4GB of
memory (but the Intel chipset can only address 3GB, so that's all
that's available to the OS), a new 160 GB SATA drive, and a fresh
install.

Since the PC is brand new (well, 2 months old), I assume it has the
latest and greatest BIOS, but I will double check that.

The drive was purchased last week, so again I think it's the latest
and greatest. But how do I check this?

I will do that when I'm back at the PC (I'm in training all day today).

Good ideas. I will definitely have to look into this. Does anyone
know if Lenovo is providing Linux drivers at this point?
