At one point I managed to get a graphical display but at the resolution was extremely low 800x640 I believe, and no way to change it because it didn't look like the kernel recognized the monitor at all. I just took a stab at a card figuring that no one else seemed to be having issues. I don't do anything graphically intensive so I just looked for what I thought was a good deal , and this card looked like a good deal, with a $10 rebate https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FW5B3ZO/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?i e=UTF8&psc=1 Pete ------------------------------------------------------------------- Pete, Thanks much, The machine I am preparing will be for video conferencing so that card should be fine. I ordered one from Newegg.... Thanks again. Sure hope 7.4 gets fixed; I stopped doing any additional updates. Greg
