It does video OK but that's all. Show me a motherboard and disk controller that work together, and I'll show you ten that don't. If you aren't convinced I'll show you ten more that don't. If you still aren't convinced, next week there will be ten new ones that don't. I hear there's another PCI rev in the works that will Solve All Of The World's Problems but I am not holding my breath. I wish that "Wide EISA" hadn't laid down and died when it saw PCI coming over the hill. 64-bit EISA would take us another three years into the ever faster future.. -- Paul Vixie La Honda, CA <paul@vix.com> decwrl!vixie!paul
