You always give such good and thorough help here... I hate to snivel
like this BUT;

If you are talking about the URL just above.  I see nothing like what
you describe.  None of the dropdowns have anything close to the card
in OP.  I'm probably blind or just dim witted.  But I see no way to
look it up or even add it.  There appears to be nothing like the
ZOTAC.

The dropdowns appear to only allow making choices of what is already
on them already.

Well thats good to know.  But again .. following the link above I see
nothing whatever about ZOTAC

Doing Ctrl-f and a word search confirms that the material one gets by
going to the URL just above doesn't contain anything like it.

I'm sure you are right and I'm doing something wrong. So do you think
by them listing it in SUPPORTED PRODUCTS it means its likely to be
installable without near insanity from having every problem known to
man wrestling with it?

Another helpful bit of knowledge would be; if I were to get and try
something, only to find its a no go will these suppliers fall down
from laughing so hard if I ask about returning it, or will I be able
to return it.

Thank you for your kind help, urls and other pointers.
