no video acquisition card yet...next toy...
downloaded blender...going to have to flip to my old card and see if I
notice a difference between the two...tried a few of the demos in the
tutor pack, and altho they look impressive, they look slow too, but I'm

Thanks though, gives me something to work and play with now :)
