Comment:

Hi all Right let me explain I have just acquired a Pentium 3 600 MHz 128meg ram 20 gig 7200rpm cc820 mobo Creative labs ct6980 agp graphics card The mobo has a riser slot and I have a riser modem but cant get them to work? i think the riser is from a amd mobo would that make a diffrence? When I do a search for new hardware win ME finds nothing Do I need a driver for the riser slot? Thanks all
