I just need the last 20% :) Says it has a "low power standard PCI connector" so add a video card. I have used 4501's which required one use a 3.3v PCI card. We needed audio and the only thing I found was discontinued Aureal cards. When run at 3.3v we learned they'd try but clip at 75% of max output, so we adjusted our volumes accordingly. -- David Kelly N4HHE, dkelly@HiWAAY.net ======================================================================== Whom computers would destroy, they must first drive mad.
