Hi, I got this AGP 8x card recently to upgrade my new Athlon XP 2400+ Win98 PC using an MSI KM4M-L mobo. Every time insert the card into my AGP slot, I get this really bad graphical corruption:

The attachment IMG_5770.JPG is no longer available
The attachment IMG_5772.JPG is no longer available
The attachment IMG_5774.JPG is no longer available

In the bios, AGP is automatically set to 8x mode when the card is inserted (this option normally isn't visible with no card inserted), so it's not like the mobo doesn't support 8x or anything. Attempting to install the drivers didn't work, either. So, any ideas? I really want to get this working so I don't have to use the pretty bad S3 Unichrome integrated graphics anymore. Hope the card isn't simply dead. Thanks.

Disable 8x mode? Sometimes it's buggy.

All hail the Great Capacitor Brand Finder

I tried that already and it sadly didn't work.

This is probably a bad card unfortunately. Are you sure the card is functioning properly on other systems?

I don't have any other AGP systems to test it on at the moment, but at this point you may be right about it just being a bad card. I've tried everything I could think of and nothing's helped.
