Yes, i know that's the card i'm looking for...i named it incorrectly in my
earlier message. I ordered it yesterday, and it should be in around 4 today,
if D&H keeps to their normal methods of madness. As for your problems, i
haven't heard any complaints about the cards from anyone in #Quake2 or
#HalfLife...possibly it has something to do with other software
configuration on your box? Anyway, I'm gonna try it out. The only games I
really want it for are HalfLife and UnReal, and any engines that I code
myself (little Christmas break project of mine is either a HalfLife TC or my
own 3D Engine...)
