Hello All I've just upgraded to a Celron300a overclocked to 450. It works great exept my Thrustmaster ACM game card won't calibrate any more, the speed is pegged at the high end in the TM Scope. I've spent the last couple days looking for a more up to date game card (pci maybe?) with no luck. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I can't be the only one that has run into this... =-0 Thanks Mike remove "CLOTHES" to reply

I threw my ACM game card in the bin ages ago. For one thing, you can't use force feedback products with it, and for another, the game/midi port on my soundcard (SB) has always worked perfectly well with every processor its been paired with, despite thrustmasters' claims that there can be problems with more powerful processors. I bought the game card because I thought I could connect two analogue devices to it and switch between them at will. I was wrong, and it was a waste of money. Paul

Ditto for CH gamecard. Some folks here like that PDPI thingy though. I havn't had luck with anything on the ISA bus so.........
