I had ordered EVGA's eGeForce card. While bench-testing the computer
box, the company that built this puppy for me called and said the

GTS. Seems to work fine.

Bull pucky !! XP Pro rocks. And yes, I dual-boot Vista Ultimate as
well. Vista is a work in progress, with LOTS of driver and software
compatibility issues.

Looking to buy 42" or 50" this holiday season, actually. And not for
the computer.
