Many thanks for he advices. In the meanwhile I did study the 66 MHz slot thing. It accepts both 33 and 66 MHz cards. Some cards, such as the ATI Rage 128 and the 3dfx Voodoo 3 3000, are compatible with both slots. Ben PS. the movie was Cars and it was the 10,000 times we watch it, actually the videotheque of my 4 years old boy consist of: Toy story 1 and 2, Cars, The Robinson's family, The incredibles. Wonder why?
