Thanks Nathan, no idea why GF2 is not there either. btw I
installed the same card in another PC only this Wednesday
and it worked without porblem, the only difference was the
AGP card was different. :(((((
The PC works great for everything dual monitor except for
my NLE so I am going to concentrate in that area. Thanks
again for your input.
