Just bought above card and put it in a gigabyte 7ix MB, it would go to windows on standard VGA, but couldnt install drivers as it was conflicting with ACPI bios region, which cant be modified that i can figure. sooooooooooo i changed motherboards to a Abit Kt7a, worse problems ! it wouldnt even boot in DOS! no video at all,same MB that was just running a real ATI 8500 card.The real ATI 8500 also works in the gigabyte board.
No it isnt the card, stuck it in a old 486 board and it worked fine.100 bucks for a card i cant use at all.thought maybe a bios upgade, but a ATI bios program to pull/view/alter/or flash it says "not a true ATI bios" and i cant find a darn thing for the Apollo.
I dont doubt the Ebay store selling these cards doesnt know how incompatable they are as in their Ebay site they state "not responsible for incompatablities"
In case you want to look at this "store" on Ebay, its called 99store........
