Yes they do, well graphics cards anyway. I was installing NT on a new
machine yesterday. In it goes no problem. OK graphics drivers. Hmm. I
wonder what it is. Look though docs that came with the machine. Nothing.
Look though bios. Nothing. Open machine look at motherboard. Find
grpahics chip with great big heatsink glued on top. No good. I finally
had to go to there web site ordering system to track down that it was a
Nvidia Riva chipset. Very annoying that.
