I have no experience with that product. I did install 10.3 on a slightly older P5GD1-VM just last Friday.

My experience is: be very careful when you buy a graphic card and want to use 3D acceleration. I have an ATI Radeon 9700 Pro and get sporadical kernel hardlocks. I'm going to start a new thread about this issue as soon as I have accomplished some more tests that should narrow down the cause of the problem. So don't buy a graphic card before you find out that it is known to run stable in a really existing system (just an entry in some hardware DB saying that it is "supported" isn't enough, see my case). _______________________________________________________________________ Jetzt neu!
