Graphics card for P2B

External Since: May 05, 2004 Posts: 1

I have a P2B-LS (minus LAN) rev 1.02
PIII 550MHz 512Mb PC100 ram 350w PSU.

I would like to upgrade my graphic card. I've tried a Radeon 9200SE
PCI and a nVidia FX 5200 PCI. Both cards fail to be recognized at
boot, although they are known to be working.

Currently have a Pine nVidia TNT2 M64 AGP. Any suggestions for a
currently available graphics card that is known to work on this board?

TIA. Paul H.

I.e. a P2B-S.

Probably because the board is only PCI 2.1 compliant but the cards need
PCI 2.2.

Pretty much any current inexpensive *AGP* card should do the job; say, a
Radeon 9200. (Consider a used 9000, which gives the performance of a
"full-blown" 9200 at the price point of a 9200SE. Have one in my P2B-D
here, and another in a P3B-F.) Only those that are keyed so they don't
work in old 3.3V only AGP slots (Radeon 9600/9800 ff.) will not fit.
