Hi,
since I recently bought a ton of higher-end PCI Graphics cards, just to find out what works and what doesn't, I want to compile the Results here and potentialls save other people time, buying a card that works.
Things to consider: Chipset of Motherboard, Type of Graphics card
Soon, I will hopefully and finally get a Socket 4 board that has PCI slots, so I can test PCI Cards with it.
I will set up 3 Socket 3 boards for now and compile the results below.:
Shuttle HOT433, 192MB RAM, 1MB Cache, Win98SE, Boot Media: CF Card (Kingston)
Cards with a * are literally brand new and pulled from original packaging.
*Geforce 4MX 420, 64MB DDR (BFG Asylum) - No picture
Geforce 2MX 400, 32MB SDR (Gainward) - Works and boots
Radeon 9250, 64MB DDR (???) - No Picture (But card has a bad Cap...so...)
Radeon 9200, 128MB DDR (???) - No Picture
*Radeon 9000, 64MB DDR (Diablotek V9000-P64) - No Picture
Radeon 7000, 32MB DDR (Original ATI) - Picture, but only boots with a HDD, no boot with CF Card
Permedia 2, 8MB (ELSA Gloria Synergy 8 ) - No Picture (But could not test the card on another Mobo)
Geforce 5200, 128MB (XFX PVT64KNT) - No Picture
More to come:
-More boards
-Matrox G400/G450/G550(T&L), Kyro 4000, Single board Voodoo's and other cards.
why? Why not!
Ofcourse, everyone is welcome to post their expierience and it will be added to the list.
