Fri, 6 Sep 2002 14:30:39 -0700

Ok, I think im beginning to understand from all the messages ive received
and searches Ive done...
>From what i gather ive got a AGP as its a new system 2gig and the tech says
all the new stuff uses this...so i bought a PCI 4mb Matrox Millenium video
card today which is USED without drivers but he said I can download them
from there site....anyways thanks for all the input from everyone, Im gonna
try and install the card this weekend...I barely get by on these
computers:-)
