Anyone using this combination? I bought a AIW 8500 for my KR7A-133 & it will not post due to a unresolved BIOS issue

I'm thinking of ordering an ATi AIW 9000 Pro/64mb to do the job, but first I wanted to know if it will work okay. TIA

Still have questions about AIW9000Pro, I assume it will work with most newer mainboards, also with LCD monitors(I have a ViewSonic VP191 LCD) using DVI cable. My main concern is when using DVI output with LCD: Can you see the POST screen when booting, when setting up BIOS, or booting into DOS?

The AIW8500/7500 would do all this using VGA cable, but had real problems doing this with DVI cable on quite a few LCDs as I've seen in newsgroups...

I would change motherboards. The 8500 card will actually perform better than the 9000. I checked pricewatch, and a place named compu-terra has the fic au13 for only $55 shipped. It has the nforce2 chipset with ddr400 (pc3200) support. It should work fine with your cpu.
