    This question might seem crazy but.. I was doing some research and stumbled upon PCMIA video cards that would make my 8600 support 5.1 surround sound.

    So I got thinking.. Right now I have an ATI 9600 128 mb which handles HL2 at 60+ fps. So really, I shouldn't be complaining. But, do PCMIA video cards even exist? If not, are they currently in development? Is it even possible? I'd definetly buy one if they were available anywhere.. I'd like a 256 mb video beast in the next couple of years..

    I was robbed by a sweet little old lady on a motorized cart and I didn't even see it coming.

    It is a PCMCIA sound card. There are no PCMCIA video cards.
