Re: New computer with video card inconpatibility

Chip,

I wrote to Chris Hofstader at FS about John's video problem.  He said he
would forward my inquiry on to their testing department to see if they had
evaluated this video card.  The Dell 8400 uses a new type of video slot, and
I suspect the ATI 128mb radeon x300  has a new non-standard video driver to
go along with it.
