Well, that offers hope if I decide to stick it in the machine with the
Nvidia. Also, I've and old Diamond S3-based card I could pair up with
one of the Radeons, set the Radeon as primary and see what happens (if I
can set it in the BIOS - I looked and don't recall seeing a setting for
it). If the BIOS has no setting, I could swap slots and see what
happens.

Thanks for the thought.
