The point was that you provided evidence that the card was OK, evidence
that Linux was OK, but no evidence that the card worked in that PC.
Your choosing to ignore your own evidence and selective quoting to keep
making your point indeed lends credence to an earlier question regarding
troubleshooting abilities. It may well be that Linux is the messenger
trying to tell you something about that particular hardware combination
having a problem.
I don't really think there is anough evidence gathered to point the finger
at anything yet.
Keep in mind too that NT may well run, but if there is some underlying
fault it will cause a problem one day.
