Thought I'd upgrade my GeForce2 to something a bit more swept up so
installed a WinFast A170 DDR T Nvidia GeForce4 MX 440 onto my Gigabyte
7VTXH+ mobo.
CPU is an Athlon 1800+XP, ram 512Mb PC2100 DDR.
The first card didn't put out any signal at all so I sent it back. The
replacement card has just arrived and it's the same situation - nil, zip, de
nada - no output, no beeps, no nuthin'.
When I sent the first card back, I spoke briefly to the wholesaler's tech
guy, who didn't know a whole lot about this card, but thought he'd seen
something on the net about this GFX card not running with the Gigabyte
7VTXH+, and muttered about a single surface mounted resistor on the card
which should be removed if the card is used in certain situations.
There is such a resistor on the card. However, a search of the net revealed
no relevant information on the subject.
I can't contact the wholesaler today (Saturday), so I'm wondering if anyone
here can shed any light on the matter.
TIA
