I have come to the conclusion that I must have missed something when it comes to Video cards. A gentleman brought me his computer today, a no brand (possibly custom built) early Pentium computer with no manuals or documentation. Windows 95 Amibios 1992 Socket 5 4 ISA slots 3 PCI slots 8 MB ram He could only get 16 colors with his present video card, and wanted one that he could get more colors with. I thought this was going to be easy. First I put in a S3 Trio64V2 that I had (I'm moving up in the world, I had one whole video card in stock *grin*) Windows detected it, but froze every time it tried to install the drivers. I played around with different PCI slots, and trying to load the standard VGA drivers, but the results were always the same. Then I took a Cirus logic card out of a computer my kids use, but the computer wouldn't even boot. I thought this was going to be easy, so what did I miss. What should I look for to know if I can put a new video card in an old computer?
