    If i remember some cards use the CPU to do the work and you machine can end up running slow. I have 2 of them running in a pc with a P3 733 and it isnt too bad but it just runs windows server my FTP site and shares the drives.

    the pc is useable but I dont that much.

    never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups!:thumbup:

    If nature always takes the easiest route, what's easier...?
    The creation of billions of galaxies each containing trillions of stars each with their own solar systems, some with planets that have evolved civilisations with billions of different life forms. OR The creation of just your imagination?
