Instructions

As you can see nothing really fancy that grabs my attention. There is a S-Video jack on the back of the card for you to hook your computer up to your TV. I am unable to do this because of my last review I stole the TV for three days and my wife was really upset.:) So look at my past review on how to set it up.

I am going to run a series of tests with 3dmark 2001, Quake and Comanche 4 (great game). So let’s get started and see how the card does.
