ah ... that explains it then. i suppose a 9 year old computer has not pci 
2.2... but pinnacle didn't write on the box anywhere something about pci 2.2 
now i checked. how can they sell something just like that? (compared to usb 
where every only-usb-2.0 product is specified like that). anyway, thanx for 
this info that explains it for me.
