Yes that and many other websites. I was attempting to do this with a person who sells used computer hardware for a living offering advice. I matched one card to the online graphic and still came up with the wrong 'model'. I downloaded as much as 12 meg of software per evening and did many 'installs' that would then tell me they didn't recognize that particular card. :-\ One reason the 'God Disk' is one of the more popular downloads at my website is the 'fun' when you have an unknown piece of hardware and just resort to the shotgun technique until something works. btw: Does everyone know about the updated Arachne v1.71UE?
