Thanks Dan but all that cost some serious money. As you can probably tell I am self taught and I appreciate the 3 times info, I didn't know that. I trird the PCI card thing and after calls to the vendor and mfg I endeded sending it back. If anything I am going to upgrade. But I ain't got that kinda cash. Starving artist and all that
