Rather ironic in as much as I'm still trying to get the perfect XP machine to run my ancient AutoCAD on!
The HP File Server I currently use has a crappy on-board video card which makes certain CAD ops like 'Pan' very jerky, but we can't find a better graphics card
and XP driver which it will run. The card which we were sure would work has been tested OK in a desktop PC so we're certain that it's the file server which doesn't like it.
Pooters, eh? Doncha just lurv 'em?
The latest wizzy scheme is to liberate an old Fujitsu/XP Pro desktop machine from the "WEEE Condemned" store (simply because it won't run the latest accounting software that Huw's customer now uses) and try the NVIDEA card in that. Scrounging condemned machines makes me feel like one of those sorry creatures who slouches up our road, looking in the building skips and wheelie bins...
BTW When I was working for The Black Gas 'FUJITSU' was an acronym for something very uncomplimentary about their IT Support Unit (there - you've got the last four letters already!). I
dream of SSDs, USB 3.0 and Windows 10, but they'd be probably be wasted on an old two-finger keyboard cowboy like me.
Go for it, Martin - whatever you decide I shall hate you forever...
