Does anyone have any knowledge about this card?
I found some info that says you can use a Pentium 2,3 or 4, but no
information as to the CPU speed needed.
I also found somthing that said you need another graphics card for
this card to work. I have a ATI Radeon 7500. My CPU is apentium 3
running at 1GHz,

Yes I did. I checked the Specs listed for the card. The advertizing
said one thing the specs said another.

Thanks a lot. This answers my question. There was conflicting info
from different sources.. I guess I will have to invest in a new
computer.
