Thanks, it is a dual boot box (the only one I have with windows on it) purely 
for playing games.  X will probably not tax the card that much, but Grand Theft 
Auto 3 will :-).  Oh, no-one should buy the 007: nightfire game that was 
released recently, it is completely crap, buy Medal of Honour: Allied assault, 
it is better by far.

As for scan, I know other people have had problems with them, but I haven't 
(yet) and the price seems pretty good and it is just about the only place I can 
find that claims to have it in stock.  I will take a chance I think.

Will.
