I would do that save for the fact that its not bells and whistles thats
clogging the machine, lots of other people have issues with this card. I

Ok so I bought a gen 1 (non-2002) quicksilver for 10 bucks from a pawn
shop. When I got it, the graphics card was dying, and there were unknown
other issues keeping it from booting. I figured worst case I'd just use the
case to eventually build a hack into. I got it home hooked a vga monitor
tag ? You will have to go retro to give meaning to that. You mean subject
?
Well a Quicksilver is a 'G' machine.So what do you object to about the
subject?
That is is software related?
Are you familiar with the one step removed rule?
