If you check the Nikon website, I believe you will find that they do not supply a driver for XP SP2. I have the same scanner and it worked well with SP1 but will not under SP2 - all the same symptoms you describe. I believe it is something to do with the aspi layer in Windows that chaanged in SP2. %[email protected]^%$##*&^%&^%(*%(. I've an old m/c running 98 that I have it connected to for the odd occasions I need it now.

I know some devices may not work properly or will not work period if your running a 64 Bit processor. I would recommend to contact the manufacture of your scanner & verify this. Possibly they may have 64bit drivers. Hope this was any help to you.

Northbridge chipset overheating

A small heatsink fan might very well be enough to dispel the heat on the northbridge. If you can find a small heatsink/fan would be a better solution, but doubtful that you'll be able to mount it on the chip if it's not setup for one to begin with. Try the heatsink, and go grab a $5-$10 case fan to help with some airflow. If the Athlon itself is heating up, getting a better cooling fan/heatsink combo. Alternately there are some liquid coolers out there that would definitely keep you cool, but they can be a little cumbersome.

In a word;no. You'd have to go with a whole new motherboard,etc,and considering the age of this system,you'd be much better off buying even a modest new computer,which will have modern,faster,and more upgradable components.Right now,about any AMD64 is quite affordable.
