Huh, I haven't had any serious problems with neither the nForce2 chipset my m/b is based on (including the nfe/nve Ethernet card) nor with the nVidia FX 5200 video card. I guess that's because both are quite antique by now. In general, the newer the stuff, the harder it might be to get it to work. This might apply to nVidia more than to other stuff, but in general it's just better to be able to check compatibility, e.g. using a LiveCD on a friend's machine... -- DoubleF No virus detected in this message. Ehrm, wait a minute... /kernel: pid 56921 (antivirus), uid 32000: exited on signal 9 Oh yes, no virus:)
