Well, as much as I hate to say it. I know positively that onboard VIA chrome in all fairness works "ok" with Win XP when you use the VIA drivers. I do not know about Vista though. By "ok" I mean that it works faultlessly, as long as you accept that 3D Acceleration is somewhere between lousy and non-existent. regards Eberhard -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
