Drop by http://www.owlnet.rice.edu/~fgray/if_vx.html and follow the instructions and which files to get. Just wondering.. do you think it's worth keeping the 590 in a medium load server? I'm thinking about swaping mine out before I put this machine online because of the little problems people have had with it.
