They're good, as long as you don't try to use their PCI cards on an ASUS A7M266 (Athlon) motherboard (and possibly other Athlon 760-based motherboards???). The FA31x won't work on the A7M266. For more info, see the ASUS motherboard newsgroup (sorry, I've forgotten the exact name). -- Darryl Okahata darrylo@soco.agilent.com DISCLAIMER: this message is the author's personal opinion and does not constitute the support, opinion, or policy of Agilent Technologies, or of the little green men that have been following him all day.
