Does your internal source know whether there are performance implications of this? Should I be worried about it? Should I try upgrading my BIOS? _________________________ -- roger

Should I try upgrading my BIOS? He didn't say. But I don't believe there should be any performance implications. After all, there have been PCI-E video cards that ran fine under Windows XP for a long time now, and Windows XP treats PCI-E like PCI in all cases. I think that if anything needed to be done performance-wise, it would get done in the driver. _________________________ Tony Fabris

Heh. I'm just writing some stuff to enumerate devices on Windows (for capturing driver info); I googled for that GUID and found this page _________________________ -- roger

And I just got an email from someone who'd done the same thing. It's hilarious, I'd completely forgotten this thread existed, and completely forgotten about ever needing to find out the information above. I hope this BBS never goes away, there's so much useful information squirreled away here. _________________________ Tony Fabris
