Yep.  The Radeon 7000 is 2X/4X AGP, and the Gateway E3200 is older, so
I'm taking the risk that Gateway didn't spend extra money to make an
office-targeted machine forward upgradeable....

I' m starting to think I need to take photos of the mobo, the card and
all to make myself clear....thousand words and all that....
