I have had my sn41g2 running well for a couple of months, but decided to upgrade my Radeon 9700 (non-pro) to a passively cooled Gigabyte GF 6800 (GV-N68128DH). The first thing I had to do was pull out my Creative Labs soundcard as the new GFX card blocks the PCI slot. Not a big issue other than crappy onboard stuttering sound.

Can anyone help with any of the following issues?
1. The system won't run in with 1GB of RAM (2 x Crucial 512MB DDR400). I now have to remove one stick
2. The card is only showing as AGP 4x - it should be 8x
3. The performance does not seem to be any better than the old card I pulled out.

I have removed all the ATI drivers and even tried a clean install on another formatted hard drive. I am running W98SE with 77.71 Forceware drivers. CPU is an AMD Athlon XP 3000+

Power supply is Shuttles 250W. Surely if it was a power problem the card wouldn't run at all, not just slowly?

Grateful for any thoughts/help

Read, boy! The 6800 blocks the PCI slot, not goes into it.

i'm running the comp in my sig all on the shuttle 250w, overclocked and all, plus a second hard drive. no slowdown, no graphical errors, no power issues whatsoever. worked on the 200w also, only upgraded to make it softer. so don't mess with shuttle PSUs!
