John -

Thanks for the input.. but what is strange is that the ATI line of video
cards is the most supported by Microsoft!

I hope that does not stop somebody from purchasing the card.. I just warn
anybody to check and make sure that your MoBo and Chips set are supported.

I did not have any troubles with the PC/CHIPS VIA Apollo 4, based Socket 7
board in the system that you just purchased.. I was able to run dual
monitors and with "PowerDVD-XP" run DVD movies full screen using the
'Radeon" as the second monitor while the main VIA/Trident monitor did its
thing.
