Depends on which chipset and what BIOS is used. I guess it's just proof that a person should identify the hardware in question before asking questions like the one we were trying to help with. I forgot that may be a possibility. :(
I'm still using one of those 'state of the art' video cards until I build my new system. A Creative Riva TNT 16 MB. It wasn't bad for the time when I bought it, but it sorta/kinda sucks now. :-) -- Charlie Edmonton,AB,Canada Registered user 244963 at http://counter.li.org I like young girls.
