Yeah, getting the dust bunnies out and cleaning the fan/edge contacts is the first thing I do when getting a used card, she's in the box now waiting to go to the post office tomorrow. I can still hear her mocking me, twas a short but painful relationship.

I think it was a generic VGA adapter, no 4200 label in sight. Under problem devices all that showed up were my disabled ports (normal). All moot, card is packed up and going back to the seller on Monday. Absolutely the most frustrating time I've ever had with a no name card, I'll never go that route …

Thanks all, yeah, it does look like that 4280, almost. I think it was an oem board made for Gateway by Albatron with a user replaced fan, there are probably more markings under the fan assembly, I'm just not inclined to remove it. Post only says "ti4200 8xagp" Display looks fine at all resolutions - …

I've purchased this geforce ti4200 cheaply for my Win98 machine and it just won't work with any drivers that I throw at it. If I manually configure it and update drivers from the device manager of the card, I can actually get the nVidia software loaded but it can't identify the card's processor (GPU …

Thanks for the replies, I've been finding the same results elsewhere, so I guess it's pretty much the norm. Cheers!

Off the wall question, I just noticed that if I do 'properties' on my computer, it's showing 511MB's of memory. I have 512 total, my bios shows 512 (256x2), is this just a quarky limitation that I've never noticed before? Everything's working fine, no errors anywhere, I'm just curious if this is …

Maybe try a bios update for your card? I had issues with my 3000 showing up on a newer motherboard, I updated the bios and it worked perfectly after. Since your 3500 does post on your other PC, it should be fairly easy to do, knock on wood. Just be triple sure to read the procedure and pick the …

Same here, the 3Dfx version crashes right at the mission start, I don't think there's any way around that, a shame as I'd love to play that version again. The Titanium version works fine, but it's still the ill fated Titanium version, glitches, no wireframe mode, sadly an unfinished project that was …

Yeah, I figured as much, I was hoping that somebody had found a miracle hack. Not a biggie, the software version is still mint, and the Titanium is...erm.....interesting. Thanks for the confirmation that I'm not overlooking anything. Cheers.

Trying to get the 3DFX version of Mechwarrior 2 working on my Voodoo 3 3ooo, so far - no luck. I'm running Windows 98SE, PIII, V3 3000. I've followed all the now defunct guides, older versions of glides, modifying the bat files. At best I've gotten to the launch screen but it crashes when trying to …

Thanks for the above info, I bit the bullet and threw it in. It was very finicky with the original bios, but the updated bios seemed to kick it in shape. Wow, I was not expecting any big improvements over the 8mb voodoo 2 sli setup, but I was wrong. Everything feels buttery smooth, and no issues …

I'll keep it short. I've got a P3 1ghz with 2 Diamond Voodoo 2's, 8MBs, in SLI. There's a 5200FX in the agp slot, all on Win98SE. Everything's working great, I know the 5200 is often berated, but it seems stable for what I'm driving, mainly dos and win games of that era. The Mechwarrior series is …
