What I'd like to find out if anybody runs it also well on a bit older Gateway 2000 486/33 which came with the Diamond SpeedStar Plus card and the dual horizontal frequency (31.5 & 48 KHz) CrystalScan 1024 NI monitor? (Micronics Gemini motherboard). The documentation states somewhere a problem with newer SpeedStar cards (like Stealth and 24, I guess), but the Plus card is not one of them. Yet, I haven't heard anybody actually confirming that this video combo is OK for Xfree. Joe Pannon
