I just bought the above card and get the following problems: 1- My p3 500 suddenly started running at 522mhz, if I put my voodoo3 back it returns to 500. 2- Right after the POST there's a message flashing stating that it couldn't find SPD at dimms 1,2,3,...whatever that means. Again if I put the v3 back everything goes back to normal, no more message about memory. 3- Finally, and more importantly, when trying to install the drivers in Win2000, upon starting to copy files I get a black screen with a flashing cursor and the computer just hangs there. No matter what way I tried to install the drivers it still happened. In windows millennium I get to install the drivers but after accepting the request to reboot the os hangs for a while and when it finally boots to a 640x480 @ 60hz says the driver can't be used. Same in device manager, reports windows hung while trying to load the driver so it won't attempt again. I tried this with both the drivers in the CD and updated ones from the web site. Is the card faulty or is it my system? should I return the card and get a second one or not bother with this particular card at all? any ideas appreciated. Thanks J.R.
