I just recently bought the card a couple days ago and tried to install it on my motherboard and it isn't recognized at all. The computer boots to Windows XP and there is no Found New Hardware wizard. I have an onboard video unit that I tried to disable, but when I disabled it, it won't boot at all, seemingly because it doesn't think there's a video card in there at all. My specifications are as follows:
MB: Soyo P4VGM 1.0 - 2.8GHz P4 Processor
VC: ATI Radeon 9250 Xtasy 128MB AGP
Windows XP SP2
The BIOS has a couple of settings I'm sure about. One of them says "Primary Graphics Adapter" and the choices are "PCI" or "AGP." If I switch it to AGP, it won't boot. Also, the "Shared Memory" setting is set to 32MB at the moment (because the onboard video is 32MB), but if I set that to zero it won't boot either. I can only assume the "PCI" setting enables onboard video? I don't see any other way to enable/disable it. If you had a PCI Video card, I don't know how it would be able to know which to use.
Anyone have any information on this, I would greatly appreciate it.
