Could well be due to the Compaq mobo - I must have set up 50 EP series
m/c's (M$ unfortunately) of various specs, and the previous range:
DP2000 was worse. They do seem to be very proprietary and you have
less trouble with more generic systems.

The .ram format is proprietary to Real Networks (I think) and they won't
release the source. I think there was a recent thread here about the
latest .ram player for Linux - I think it ended by concluding that it
didn't work properly, but check the mailing list archive.
Bye,
