Geforce2 GTS Compatibility Issue

Geforce2 GTS Compatibility Issue

Configuration:

Motherboard: Tyan Thunderbolt S1837UANG / 440GX / AGP 2X / AMI Bios Version V2.00.09
Windows 98 SE 4.10.2222 A
Pentium III 500Mhz 128Mb
Creative PCI Live Audio Card


I have previously attempted to install a ELSA Gladaic Geforce2 GTS AGP card. I reformated my hard drive and did a clean install with the Gladaic installed to insure there was no driver conflicts with the previous video card (Creative Blaster Exxtreme). I also upgraded my BIOS to the latest revision and installed new Intel 440GX chipset drivers. The Gladaic would not function, but the system would boot to Win98SE. The Device manager indicated error code 24, device not functioning or drivers not installed correctly. The system would revert to the standard VGA driver and disable the Gladaic.

Anyone have any idea what the problem is? Any suggestions?

Obviously I'm looking for an alternative to the Gladaic. Based on this experience will any of the Geforce2 GTS graphics cards work? Any other recommendations?

TIA

Im almost positive that the agp port just cant support the required voltage fot that card. You have an OLD chipset that was never intended to suply that amount of power to the agp port.
 
If the chipset not supplying enough juice is the problem you might be able to find some cards that have an external power connector to be used in those situations. Im currently installing a powercolor geforce card, it has a 4 pin power connector on it, and jumpers, manual says if the voltage is a suspected problem change the jumpers and plug one of your power connectors right to the card to get around it. Im not sure if they make any Geforce 2 cards with the same feature, I thought it was just the original Geforce cards that had voltage problems.
