First off, Paul, you are the first person who has had a problem. My machine
is fully functional with my ram card, and works fine. Yes, it is
accelerated.
All but 2 slots have cards in them, and I've had no problems whatsoever
with it. Ask the 150 people who have my cards if they are a problem, and
on top of that, you should apologive to Vince Briel for insulting him as
well.
He and I worked on this card together. Also, most people would make this
type of comment in private, not on a public forum. To me, you're just a big
jerk. So, bug off. Thanks.
