>> It's the total cost of making the change that scares me. << I've been taking it step by step, software being the biggest so far, but that seems to be under control. Then I started thinking about my video cards and thats where I started seeing a glitch. All the display cards have NT drivers already, but not the Targa and not the Ill Pro. I don't know how useful the Targa will be without Tips… but I was counting on being able to run QFX and PShop on the Pro and it sounds like their planning on writing a driver so that 3DS can render, but no commitment to a display driver. BTW I wouldn't mind paying for an Ill Pro or Targa driver, as long as it was reasonable which is kinda why I brought it up. I get their point, which is, all of a sudden they're supporting DOS, Windows, Win95, OS/2, with NT in its 3 flavors on the horizon. Its more than they're equipped to handle… So I'd rather pay for the dang driver than lose the boards… How does that go? For want of a horse a kingdom was lost… something like that. But as I said, no one has suggested it, and I get the feeling they'd just as soon drop the boards than deal with it. You wouldn't think there would be cause for concern, unless you'd spoken with the guys that are supposed to be handling it… So what other things are of concern to you? Other than networking… which is the next step for me… John
