These Cards Will Not Play

Such new games as;

Sanitarium
Prince Of Persia
American McGee Alice
Black & White 1
Dink Smallwood

These are not new games. With the Microsoft supplied drivers old versions of DirectX and OpenGL crash the game (Prince of persia and Sanitarium crash using the MS Supplied Drivers) or render it incorectly (In American McGee Alice the Health meter is displayed in the center of the screen instead of where it should be). Use the supplied drivers for 2K or Nt and you get the BSOD.

These cards are not up to snuff for the new games- The Radeon 7000 (Code Named VE) only has 32 MB of Graphics memory.

You can also add the Apollo cards to that list if you want.

You aren't going to go out and purcahse a new $35,000 piece of equipment becuase MS dropped the 10Base2 Card support from XP that was in Win 2K and the equipment is supplied only with a 10Base2 ethernet connection.
