Give it a spin, I guess. For various reasons that are far to boring to go into here, I'm not entirely free in my choice of card. What I'll probably do is try to get a rev 8 card swapped in for the rev 12 one. If I can't get a rev 8 card for that machine, I'll go with the e100 driver and let you know what happens. James
