Graphics card for P2B

[Paul R. Hunt]

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.

PIII 550MHz 512Mb PC100 ram 350w PSU.

PCI and a nVidia FX 5200 PCI. Both cards fail to be recognized at
boot, although they are known to be working.

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

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

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.
