This server is my desktop at home and the Millenium only has 2 Mbyte of memory and X11 has some strong opinions on how many bits of colour and how much resolution he will provide me with that setup... I could scarf the Oxygen out of the 4100 here at work - that guy IS a server and he doesn't need that much video card. Alas, I find that managers grow restless when I knock down the servers (much less steal their video cards). If I put in an Oxygen I can run VMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! -- Richard Loken VE6BSV, Systems Programmer - VMS : "Anybody can be a father Athabasca University : but you have to earn Athabasca, Alberta Canada : the title of 'daddy'" ** richardlo@admin.athabascau.ca ** : - Lynn Johnston
