Steve,

Definitely a 5i20. I just looked as a sanity check. The Full HD (1920x1080 
IIRC) needed for probe-basic is higher resolution than my monitor, but probably 
not the video card. I do actually have a decent PCIe graphics card, but I’d 
have to give that up to go to a PCIe FPGA card. I really want to upgrade 
anyway, because the PC is a Core2 Duo and might not be adequate to run a full 
desktop and the machine under recent Debian.
