hi,
I just got my 16mb Nvidea Vanta video card, I put it in my system (low
profile, AGP) and my system will boot, but when it goes to load windows it
stops. This card is only capable of 1X agp, my board supports up to 8x
could this have somthing to do with why it wont work?
 
Yes.
For starters, 1X AGP and 8X AGP require different voltages.
You are putting a 16" tire on a 13" wheel and wondering why the tire won't
stay on the wheel.

Steve.
 
Ok, I wont use the 16mb video card then. I've got 512 mb of ram now,
sharing 64 with the on board, so maybe I could just cut down on on board
shared memory to get more system resources.

Either that or buy more RAM or a video card or both.

I just put in the new 256mb Stick I bought on ebay for 15 bucks, and it made
an incredible difference with the on board video set at 64mb
 
In addition, the nVidia Vanta card is about the nastiest and cheapest they
ever made... and about the slowest too.

I promise you won't miss it.
 
yeah well it cost 5 bucks, guess I can slap it in the 4yr olds machine for
them to play nemo and thomas the train on
