Voodoo 2 & Via chipset

[JacobM]

Sorry if this is in the wrong section (hope it isn't)

I have a 3d card (Pure 3d II LX) that won't work with this motherboard. It plugs in okay, and windows boots and the drivers install, but the display tab won't initialize, and the hardware just doesn't work. Is there anything that I can do (in Windows or Bios) that could fix this?


In fact, here's the whole setup in case you need to know.

Epox 8KTA3 w/ Duron 700 (VIA KT133 chipset)
64 Megs (PC133?!?) Ram
S3 Virge 325 (2 megs)
Pure3D II LX (12 megs)
Soundblaster Awe64
Zoomtel 56k modem HCF

Sometimes you just have to fiddle around with some of the BIOS setup options like Palette Snoop, Video BIOS Shadow, Video BIOS Cacheable, Video RAM Cacheable, or AGP Aperture Size to find a configuration that works for your particular system. Check any manuals first, of course. In the absence of specific instructions/recommendations, write down or print out your present settings, then change only one option at a time. Sometimes the F1 key will give you some hints after you highlight a BIOS option. Welcome to The PC Guide forums, and Good Luck! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/smile.gif
