Nice system. Always wanted a k6-3 system. At the time I went p3 and have many intel systems of that era. Still want a k6 however...maybe one day.

in the bios boot up screen is any device using the same irq as your video card. I had an issue with a nic and vid card however that resulted in the pc not booting up. If after the windows install the same thing happens remove every peripheral and leave only the vid card in and see if it performs any …

I would download the bx or equivalent for your board chipset drivers, directx then install video drivers but even if you havent installed in that order it should not crash. THe 9x microsoft operating systems would get their knickers in a knot sometimes for the smallest issues. Weird.

Yes you were right! The obsidian has no output. The seller sent me another one and that worked fine. I thought it might be the cable but alas it was not. I am thinking of putting it in my above mentioned abit bx6r2 and remove the voodoo 2 sli setup I have, and gain a pci slot. Now what to put into …

m1919 I would just heatsink paste the n/b heatsink. I do not think that 112 mhz will tax the n/b. In my abit bx2 board I had it at 135mhz with a 450mhz katmai @ 607mhz. And all I did at the time is just white heatsink paste the heatsink to the nb.

I just tried old unreal and I got no image although I did hear sound, so might be a bad card.. I also tried it in a bx board apart from the Via I used. So I do not think it is a pci issue.

m1919, when you connect the medusa cable to your primary video card and then the 26pin connector to the quantum card the other 15 pin goes to the monitor, right? I assume you get an image at boot up (of the bios for example). I am asking the question as I got the same card from the seller on ebay …
