Hi all,
My buddy just bought Final Fantasy XI, but can't play it because his piece-o-crap HP has only 16 megs of onboard video ram. Anyway, I tried installing an old Hercules 4500 Kyro II I had, but the floppy disk drive mount got in the way of the end of the card. I think the card is about 1.5 cm too long at roughly 18.5 cm. Anyway, he's looking to buy about a hundred dollar card and I can't seem to find any published list of lengths. Anyone have recommendations on what he should get?
Peace.

Dumb question, but is there a free slot to just move the floppy? Or even just remove it completely? Personally I've never used mine.

Unfortunately, It's the floppy hanger that's blocking the slot, not the floppy drive itself. It'd be impossible to remove without some heavy duty metal cutting tool.
