Its funny, I have built or upgraded numerous PCs for friends relatives and clients, but mine is still chugging at 333 MHz, with the motherboard beginning to do things unnatural like whistling!! I want to add a DVD, and a TV card (!) but my base doesn't have enough bays. So therefore I said to the family I don't want socks and shower gel this Xmas. You see I am not a twenty year old, in fact you can double it easily, so people think that I should have jumpers and socks!!!<BR>> > <BR>> > <BR>> > Mo <BR>> > <BR>> > david <NUX@BLUEYONDER.CO.UK>wrote:<BR>> > OK<BR>> > <BR>> > The card is in the lowest pci slot possible.
