117509	2003-01-31 23:40:00	Hi, I have just bought two DSE PCI Card 10/100Mbps WOL V2 Lan cards today. Is there a certain PCI slot that they should be in? and, A little cable was included with the card, where do i stick it? I am using a Gigabyte GA-7VA. Any help would be very appreciated, -Jordan	XP-dition (3016)

117515	2003-02-01 05:13:00	Yep I've got it :) I just wriggled it round used a bit of force, bended the metal bit @ the front of the card so that it would go in better, and now have it installed and working. Thanks a lot :) -Jordan	XP-dition (3016)
