I've been trying different cards in 2 Pentium systems. One is a P120 and the other is a Pentium 233MMX. The Pentium 120 came with a ATi Mach 64 and the 233MMX came with a Virge GX and they both work fine. I have tried putting Rage 128 and Voodoo 3 cards in them and all I get is 1 long beep, 3 short beeps which is video card error but these cards work in newer systems. I'm guessing the motherboards can't handle video cards that much newer, but what is the cutoff point for these systems? They are both OEM systems so I don't have a model number for the motherboards that I can use as a guide. I would have thought that Rage 128 and V3 would have worked fine at least in the 233MMX.
