You were in the chatroom, you didn't wait for me to get back... it's lunch time here.

To get the radeon running you need The correct drivers (http://mirror.ati.com/support/products/radeonwin2kpreviousdrivers.html)

Here are the rage 128 pro drivers (http://mirror.ati.com/support/products/pc/rage128pro/win2k/rage128prowin2kdrivers.html?cboOS=Windows+2000&cboProducts=RAGE+128+PRO&eula=&choice=agree&cmdNext=Next)

We didn't establish if either of these cards are powered by or built by - please let us know, the drivers linked above are for the built by.


The ATI faqs are very comprehensive (http://mirror.ati.com/support/faq/index.html)
Hope this helps.

edit: did you load the chipset drivers? (http://www.abit-usa.com/products/mb/nf7-s/biosdrive.php)

Also you might want to check if you have to load any agp bus drivers before the video will load....
