Well I did get a GT220, a Gigabyte GT220 DDR3 1GB card to be exact. Haven't
had a chance to try it out as it looks like the motherboard I have in the
machine can't support it! DOH!

Firing it up gives me the slowest CMOS boot screen I have ever seen, it's
like someone is writing each letter. The card works way better in the
machine I am typing this on so it's back to the shop to get a later model
motherboard. The things we do to record and playback TV programs......
