HELP.....Diagnostic POST Card Question

The_Neon_Cowboy · Mar 12, 2003, 05:06 AM

Is it better getting a PCI or ISA diagnostic post cards? or should I get them both? Most pc's I have seen all have pci slots and isa slots ... but of couse the newer boards are all PCI .... and very few times I see the very old machines with no pci.... but I am think the ISA would be a waste of money since abt. 98% will have pci slots ... what do you think? is there something I am missing?

Why would you want one? For problem diagnosis for multiple computers, or just your computer?

I have one of the PCI models... When diagnosing probelems nearly all older computers have at least one PCI slot. I do not really see a need for an ISA diagnostic card.
