Thx for the reply, don't laugh, lol!!! Intel PII300 abit motherboard SICI card XP Pro, built this machine back in 97, lol. The front load card reader I got in 98 i think, the new on i just got last week, an off brand and it attaches to a pci slot and is a rear slot entry. I know i need to build a new machine so i can play ut3 with out lag. i'm guessing its the mb. I do have a 2.0 card in a pci slot as well and it works at that speed.

Thank you
