1.3GHz C7 runs nicely and I'm not having a problem with graphics on board. DDR2 533 memory probably helps there. CN13000's only problem is that the parallel port is on a connector inside so you end up with a ribbon cable snaking out the side ;) -- Lester Caine - G8HFL ----------------------------- L.S.Caine Electronic Services - http://home.lsces.co.uk Model Engineers Digital Workshop - http://home.lsces.co.uk/ModelEngineersDigitalWorkshop/ Treasurer - Firebird Foundation Inc. - http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys.
