Gateway PIII500 and Inno MX440
I have just tried to upgrade a Gateway PIII500 machine with an 64MB Inno Nvidia MX440 graphics card. The original card is a 16MB 3DFX Voodoo 3000.
When powering up there are various beeps indicating a problem with the graphics card and there is no output to the monitor.
I've tested the card on a PIII600 and everything boots up OK.
There is obviously a compatability problem with the gateway motherboard and the new card but what?
I obviously need to buy a card for the machine but can't really afford to just buy another one and hope for the best!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Just had a thought........could it be that the Gateway's AGP slot is NOT 2.0 compliant? I don't know how to check this!!!!!
