NooNoo and Zerotech probably already answered this for you, but check your mainboard manual. Also, in Bios setup, there is sometimes the ability to enable PCI 2.1 support in the Advanced Settings or one of the other pages. So, check both of those.
i run sisdftware sanra and it said the i have bci bus of 2.10Quote:

3. The bios is not set to boot from pci.
4. The monitor cable is connected to the wrong port.
5. Onboard video does/does not require to be disabled in bios.

3.yes it is set to boot from pci
4.no it is not in the wrong port
5.what do you mean
option 5 - the motherboard does not like working with the onboard enabled and a pci card, or the motherboard will only work with a pci card if the onboard is enabled.
If it refuses to boot with onboard disabled, will it with onboard enabled?
If not, it leaves option 1 - incompatible.
Which is what I have been saying all along.Quote:

You can only take old hardware so far before you hit the point of diminishing (or non-existant) returns. Believe me, I know, I've tried.
You'll be lucky to get a 32MB PCI video card to work in that motherboard, I'll bet 16MB would be a lot more comfortable to it. I had a lot of long, frustrating fights trying to upgrade motherboards like that one (the Matsonic 5025S/PC Chips M571, for example). Socket 7's with the i430VX chipset or, worse yet, SiS, Via and ALi's "near equivalent" versions of that chipset.
If you want to upgrade motherboards like that, you have to look at what was top-of-the-line parts when that motherboard was new. That will show you the most probable limits of the hardware you're working with and save you numerous headaches.
I apologise if I seem harsh or short with you, but I'm pitying the poor horse that's had more than its fair share of beating.

Sorry , doesn't look like yours either , it could be just the brandQuote:
