Wheee :) Btw, am I right in assuming that new AGP slots are physically different from old 1x AGP cards for a reason and that it's a Bad Idea to try and fit them together? 8) -- Ole A. * * Rob Shortt wrote: > > Isn't there a bios update or something for the G400/450/550 to enable > the tv head by default on bootup?
