Is this the case under win2k still? The OS should allow this; does the
machine boot up? I've run a mix of matrox and other cards without problem
in the past. Is this the machine with the ATI AGP adapter onboard?<br>

Have you been able to peer in at any of the sessions? <br>

<blockquote type=cite cite>2) On the video capture machine, there are
only two free PCI slots<br>
for the WinTV cards. One slot is taken up by the NIC,
yet<br>
there is also an onboard 10/100 port. I understand
that the<br>
Intel PCI Pro/100+ NIC that's in there does some
processing<br>
of a level or two of the TCP/IP stack, so I'm wondering
if<br>
pulling that out and using the onboard 10/100 would
critically<br>
cut the network capabilities of that machine. Again,
does anybody<br>
have experience enough to provide advice?</blockquote><br>
THey shipped it with a NIC even tho there's an onboard port? I don't see
any reason to not use the onboard ethernet.<br>

<blockquote type=cite cite>We're still several weeks away from even
getting our high-speed network<br>
connected in to the AGN, so I can't test this myself. Which
reminds<br>
me, U. Montana has an opening for a Networking position (I don't
know<br>
exactly at what level) - if anybody's interested, I can find more<br>
info for you. In general, low monetary rewards, high
peace-of-mind<br>
rewards :)</blockquote><br>
:-). Betcha it doesn't cost as much to live out there as it does
here...<br>
