Hi Rui: You're right. We should not be responding to cross-threaded posts about basically nothing. I'm currently at the Nvidia newsgroup that your post was cross posted too as well. I see that this message by default goes to the major 3 video card groups, so lets kill it now. If anybody responds to this, please adjust the address to the Nvidia group only where I'm posting from. Thanks for the chat everybody. bye, Rick "Rui Santos" <rui@esoterica.pt> wrote in message news:8ups47$m0i$1@venus.telepac.pt... > wow !!! so many replies !!! but hey.. look.. it's > alt.comp.periphs.videocards.matrox > damm it , see where you post, BEFORE you post... > > > well... if u didn't get it by now... argh....
