ahh i knew i had it somewhere!
after RMAing my new pci-E x16 card, i realized i had a problem--no graphics card! i knew i had those old PCI cards hanging around somehwere---ended up searching nearly the whole house, dont think ive ever been so excited to find an old pci card before. its usable, the graphics are TERRIBLY slow though, took me a couple minutes to scroll down the page lol! the card is the size of the new cards taht have two GPUs, its absolutely huge lol...i might swap it with one of the other ones, see if thats any faster, but i doubt it will be. oh well, better then nothing. lets hope newegg gets a replacement here fast! havent had much luck with UPS/fedex lately, ended up taking a little longer then i thought on my parts for my build, they totally destroyed a package from amazon (youd think it would be hard to damage books but they managed too, the box was totally mangled lol...)...not to mention im still waiting for the wheels/tires for my car to get here

Did you install the drivers for the card?

You'll need drivers...even the highest end card out their now will be slow if the drivers aren't installed.

Drivers for that card are built into Windows.
