I don't have HIGH blood pressure, just an accelerated heart rate.

I've had problems with ATI and NVidia cards in my system.  I finally
stuck with a 64MB ATI VIVO card that has been around the block several
times.  I put it in, my computer locks up, I take it out, ATI releases
new drivers, I give them a try, it locks up, I take the card out
again....  well, you know the problems.

Anyway, Windows finally works well with the card.  I've been lockup
free with windows for a while and I'm getting ready to jump into FC3
at home.  FC2 has problems with the card in graphics mode.  I'm hoping
FC3 may be better.

The bad thing is the system cost me a jumbo sized dollar to build from
pieces I don't want to replace it.  1GB Memory, Dual PIII slot 1 CPUs,
2-40G Hard drives,  SCSI card,  SCSI CD-RW, SCSI Tape drive, 4 port
serial card.......

Good Luck with your inquiry,
James Kosin
