No need to apologize, Nancy- I am wary of such a product though. There's no such thing as a free lunch! I think it would be better to solder in a new pci socket than to cram so much into one slot, latency and all.
The J700 is really an S900 without the 2 other pci slots. The motherboard is the same. J700s are rarer, which actually makes them more desirable. -Ford On Tuesday, September 17, 2002, at 08:00 PM, Nancy Haitz wrote: > My apologies to Ford.
