I'm WAY out of touch with video cards, but I'm pretty sure the card I 
put in the Athlon machine I built earlier this year for home was a 
GeForce 5200 and 4X.  I have no idea what this "floppy-cable" card 
stuff is, but there's no cables coming off of this card going 
anywhere...?

The box and packaging are upstairs in the office if someone needs me to 
get more info...
