Hi, I don't post much but I hope some ppl remember me
Without going into all the gory details, my graphics card is dying on it's
feet.
With all the gory details, I got a general slowdown and eventual crash of
the machine about 2 hours ago. After blaming windozes and arsing about
with drivers for an hour, I went into Mandrake and it did the same thing
Then I noticed the Graphics Card's Heat Sink fan wasn't turning >_<
I managed to mount and old socket 7 fan onto the heatsink but it's....
less than optimal, as it doesn't fit properly and it help on - quite
literally - with duct tape
Has anyone got a spare GFX card I can borrow, or a GFX card I can buy? I'm
currently too poor to shell out for anything new.
The current GFX card is a NVidea GeForce 440 MX 64 Mb - obviously anything
at all will do as a loan card, but I'd only buy something equivalent or
better

Al, Hoping someone can help
