Hi Mark,

just checked the full name for my nvidia card.  GeForce 4 MX440.  now, to my
logic I'd have thought that g-force 4 would be a later version to G F 2.
However, not all versions of software run the logical course LOL.  so, I'm
not really sure.  Think I'll look it up on the web though.

Justin
