i know the card works as i tested it in my desk top and it works fine.

Requirements:
Intel® Pentium® 4/III/II/Celeron™, AMD® K6/Duron™/Athlon®/Athlon XP® or compatible with PCI bus 2.2 configuration boards. (3.3V interface only)

I couldnt get the link to work, but perhaps the board doesnt support the pci 2.2 spec?

Make sure the card is seated correctly. One of the bad things with PCI is you can't lock it down as you can with AGP.

it is seated porperly, i have tested it in to old boards and it wont worik in them, but it does work in my newer desktop.

any one have any idea when pci 2.2 spec came in?

i think thats likely to be my problem

Did you change the bios to PCI video card before installing the card?

**TX5** · 10-10-2004, 10:44 PM

yep, done that

Looks like to old of a MB then

Just emailed the place i got it from, see if they have any sugestions.

I didnt know that there were different standards for PCI

Im running out of options to a TV out signal for my screen

I found out the same thing with an agp card, went to plug it into a newer mobo, and....grunt, push, tug, yank, wouldnt fit! Seems the old card wont physically fit the new agp connector. Grrr.

To bad they didnt do that with the pci express, it would make it painfully obvious that it wanst meant to work if it wont plug in.
