Heh, don't bet on it. I use to work for this huge clone builder in St.
Louis..and one of the sales people tried to sell this guy a G200
waaaaaaaaaaaaay before it was supported..I promptly told the salesman
that if he sold this customer a $7000 server with that card in it..and
they could not run X or if they had to spend the cash to get AccelX
after figuring out that it was not supported...we would have a $7000
return on our hands and no good word o' mouth..hehheheheh.
Anyways, I am glad you found a good place to shop!
laters,
