Hi,
A sales guy told me that my Pentium 90 would not be
able to work with a new PCI network card because it wouldn't be PCI 2.0 compatible. I checked the
motherboard instruction manual (an Intel Plato board)
and there it is stated under "PCI auto-configuration capability": The PCI Auto-configuration function complies with version 2.0G of the PCI BIOS specification - I presume this is the spec the salesman was referring to, so I guess a new PCI network card should work - right ?

Thanks,
Vjeko
