I searched for the HighPoint Rocket 620 - listed as $24.99 on NewEgg - but Australian suppliers seem to have it above $100AUD. The cheapest price I found was $54AUD - and they were out of stock. It seems that even ebay are over the $100AUD mark for the card - however I can import one from the USA for less than $40AUD. Sometimes I hate the Australian technology market! -- Steven Haigh Email: netwiz@crc.id.au Web: http://www.crc.id.au Phone: (03) 9001 6090 - 0412 935 897 Fax: (03) 8338 0299 There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet. -- Admiral William Halsey
