I have a Marvel G200 working with a P2B with no problem. Or I did!

Then I tried to install a Millenium G200 to do multi-monitor and everything
went dead. It took me two weeks to figure out that the Marvel had blown, but
that it had also screwed the P2b which had to be reset with a paper-clip
before it would accept any graphic card!

During the two weeks I swapped everything in and out, CPU, memory, other
graphics cards, took all devices and other cards out, tried the devices in
another system. Drove me round the bend.....
