Thanks. Running FC1 on P3-933 with 256mb pc133. It ran better before a
128mb chip failed but it so slow booting and to the X-desktop. Once there
its not bad. CA810E board so not heat issues rock solid performance.
We had a Hauppauge TV ISA card when 486s were the hot cpus must have cost
someone a $1000 or more we never did find drivers for the card. But
if/when you get the cash before July Hauppauge has a promo:
