I all know this but he cameup with an improvement (new Software)wich realy speeds up a couple of more things then only graphics like in the past He prommised me to come up with an improvement for the chessprogram's beginning of the year 2000 So i think it is better to leave this case alone the real reason why I posted this mesage in the first place was to give you something to think about and maybe he is right on this case but maybe the programmers here could come up with the same thing. Anyway when I get the update wich will work with chessprogramm's I will give you the results cause it still is posible to run the program in the oiginal state aswell as the optimized state. > >The card is a type of dongle that uses an ISA slot.
