Defective early revision adapter! Exactly how bad is this? The machine boots OK but NFS seems to run extremely slowly (timeouts?). Is there anything I can do to improve it other than trying another card? -- Doug Rabson, Microsoft RenderMorphics Ltd. Mail: dfr@render.com Phone: +44 171 734 3761 FAX: +44 171 734 6426
