I have an Intel Pentium 4, 3.0G Prescott on my Intel 865PERL MoBo, with 1 gig DDR400, with a ghetto a** NVidia 5200 FX PCI. My friend have me his old video card, an ATI Radeon 9600 SE. I am trying to go from the PCI card to the AGP, and I can't seem to get it work.

Before the swap, I removed the drivers for the FX, then powered down, powered up, set the BIOS to register AGP, then saved and shut down. I swapped out the cards, and put in the SE, then turned it back on, and I get no video...

So I swapped them back out, and it now reads the PCI card again, however the BIOS was still set to AGP.

Any ideas?

Hmm.... anyone?

Could I possibly just need to get a DVI to VGA adapter?

Few questions:

1st. You canīt connect your VGA cable to it? If you can connect it you donīt need a DVI to VGA adapter.

2nd. What is not working? No image, system beeps, bad image, drivers not working?
