  Well - I have to say that I have recently bought one of those cards,
and am delighted with it.  Your problem may stem from something else,
perhaps your motherboard.  I don't know the XPS400 so can't comment on it.
How old is it?  The G200 requires the latest version of the PCI bus to
work correctly I've been told.

  Regards,
     Harry.
