Hey all!
Has anybody ever encountered issues with a Banshee, where it would seem to work perfectly on Win98, but wouldn't work under XP?? (on the same machine?!)
I have a 1st generation Banshee with a "1001"-type chipset (Chaintech Desperado AGP-3F10) with [1.00.03-ET] BIOS, that puts out a completely garbled desktop in WinXP. Sometimes a black screen. And sometimes you can see a hint of the icons (with no text) on a black background.
Only time it starts is when the desktop is set to 16 colors.
The driver i'm using is a win2k driver: "17 May 2000 - 3dfx Voodoo Banshee V1.02.02b 1517k ZIP Beta Release" -- downloaded from http://falconfly.3dfx.pl/banshee.htm.
***Thing is that, other banshees (both "1001" & "3001" chipsets, *LaterEdit--and with same bios ver.*) work fine on this machine with the same WinXP, and with the same exact driver.
So i'm really baffled by this card that ONLY seems to work on Win98.
Here's a picture from the net, of the card in question:
Thanks!
L.E.
Also is there a difference between the older "1001" and newer "3001" chipsets?
