Before I can buy a card, I need to know what it is called in the shops (on-line or otherwise), not what chipset it has. I realise this is the manufacturer's fault, but this is a perennial problem for Linux users who want to buy an new card for something: "OK, I want something with such-and-such a chipset, but the on-line shops just don't say what the chipset is. -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@cl.cam.ac.uk http://www.chaos.org.uk/~jf/Stuff-I-dont-want.html (updated 2009-01-31)
