Not in IP support question -- maybe demon.tech.pc is the place?

You may actually have a slightly better video card now, except for the 
memory.  There are drivers out there, but not obviously labelled for the 
ET4000 chipset.  The drivers I used for my ET4000 were ISTR labelled as 
for a brandname of Boca...  They were on a CD-ROM of the old CICA 
windows software site.
