[KLUG Members] AGP problem (maybe?)

I'll have to look tonight - I didn't write them down.  I'll bring them in
tomorrow for some more detail.  Thanks!

By the way - I was in the local computer stores and most all the cards are
AGP.  You mentioned the Voodoo cards.  Everything I saw was either Radeon or
GeForce.

If I can't get the settings right for the AGP card would a PCI version solve
my problems?  If so, what are your recommendations other than a voodoo -
just for my knowledge?

Thanks.

Yep, those sound like "problem children" when it comes to those old
Socket 7 AGP boards.  What are your BIOS settings?
