Lascala Install - Round3

Lascala Motherborad was swapped and returned on 2006-02-17
Was delivered with a different set of drivers: These do not seem
to be the MCE specific drivers, but they work...
Took Snapshot at 2006-02-17 22:39 - Round31AfterMoboSwap

For testing -
Restored Round2 Snapshot3, which froze after 7 hours
Restored that Round31-AfterMoboSwap Image, which ran without incident for 35 hours;
well acutally, the image froze once, but btv, was not even frozen.

So this is the driver picture as delivered after Mobo swap:
