that is becasue i think you are powering the display from the motherboard turbo led. Thats why it shows 66 when turbo is on and nothing when turbo is off. So you are drawing 5v from the LED header off the board. instead of 5v off the power supply. I tried explaining this before that the LED header …

i dont understand why it has to "natively" support it when most boards only support it with adapters. Most of the people on this forum used adapters. also if u want good agp that board you linked is horrible.

the yellow circle programs high the blue programs low the red x marks are the headers that you need to rig the switch to. the switch plug into display and to mobo header the red and black wires look like +5v to me unless u have that wrong https://www.vogons.org/download/file.php?id=102398&mode=view …

you have to rig the switch to the display. the switch controls what it displays. when switch is up or down it will change the display. the numbers on the dipsplay are just programed using jumpers on the back. the turbo led signal from the motherboard isn't for the display its for when u dont have a …

probably but you have to know what you are looking for since a lot of times the seller doesn't know. When the seller knows or thinks they have something thats when prices are jacked. Unfortunately most the time its "thinks" not knows

check the bios setting for VGA or Display INIT order. Somtimes there is a option to INTI PCI or AGP 1st or 2nd and you can change the order in which the bios scans for dipsplay INIT.

I'm proud of sphere hes learned his shit from his experiments. Although there are quite a few ways to realistically add solid state to an old computer NVME isn't one of them. Even if you got it to work it would be a waste. we did try to tell him that tho.

If its a socket 7 VIA board the issue is likely not the card but the buggy and poor agp implementation on that chipset. The likely works fine on a BX or a intel board. If it was a PCI card it would likely give you no problems, on a VIA chipset like how voodoo 3s work fine becasue they lack the agp …
