It was just a reminder to check the obvious.  

At one stage I thought that I must have zapped my Kworld card.  In 
retrospect it might be that it won't work in my AM2 box (an ASUS 
M2N-E with nForce 570 ultra and a 65 Watt 3600+ 64X2), only in my 
Sempron box.  

Sooner or later I will shuffle some hardware and have another look.
