win XP mboard graphics card problem

Other forum sites have noted a graphics card problem with the AMD motherboards,solution would be to see if you can get a win2k driver to work with the card,also check with card and mb manufacturers to see if their is a fix for problem

Check the 2 following site of MS to see if the videocard is w2k compatible.http://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/server/howtobuy/upgrading/compat/search/devices.asp

Since it's a new card check also with nvidia's website direct to see if they have a newer videodriver.

(you will probably need to boot into vga mode first and then install the driver, the instructions will be given bt Nvidia)

Andrew,
I have some questions, then some possible answers:
Does the system even POST? Do you get any video at all? Or are you already into a WinXP install?
If you're not getting any video at all, the card has a failure of some sort or you have two incompatible parts.
If you are into the XP setup and you have trouble with the display, I doubt its a driver problem since Windows loads a generic VGA driver until install is finished and you install the video card drivers.

I'm not going to say where I got his from, but I found out that AMD has their new chips named "XP" because the older chips had a bug in them that would not let WinXP operate correctly in them. They could not figure out how to fix them with software, so they simply took the remaining chips in production, and fix them, and called them "XP".
