The only direct mention I fouond waws where it was admitted that all of the Blade100's come built-in with them. I can't find if it's supported by ANY pf the addmittedly pretty broad array of video devices, I was looking for the pgx64 name or ATI XL Rage. If anyone knows more, it'd be very appreciated. I have to think that this card is probably supported somehow, at least I would HATE to have to buy another really expensive card (that's worth $15, maybe) to get my video. I have a 20" LCD screen to drive, 1200X1600. This feels like a missing item in the docs, at least I really, really hope so. > Kris
