Just thought I'd let you know.  The information on the video cards is kept
in the system.ini file.  The SYSTEM.INI file holds all the information about
the hardware.  So you will need to have a separate SYSTEM.INI file for each
unique configuration of computers that you have.  You could either keep a copy
of this file on the local hard drive or put it in a network directory.  I use
the second method.  To do that you will need to be able to uniquely identify
your computer.  If you can't figure out that part feel free to write me back.
