I heard people complaining about the performance of the Voodoo Rush. I'd return that card and get a Moster or somesuch, since you are using the 2nd slot anyhow. You'd also save some money. Then you could remain true to FreeBSD :) Once Bill Gates has FreeBSD on his PC I'll forgive you for having win95 on yours! Kevin On Sun, 4 Jan 1998, Jordan K.
