Geforce2 MX compatibility issues???

gwilks98 · 09-13-2000, 07:21 PM

Heard today that Geforce2 MX is having strange compatibility issues with certain chipsets. (And I'll be running an Intel 815 shortly)

Is there any truth to this?

The problem with GeForce 2 cards and abit motherboards was a voltage problem. For example the system wouldn't even turn on 50% of the time. Newer abit motherboards and revisions of abit motherboards have replaced the troublesome part.

GeForces tend to have more with Athlon chipsets. I haven't heard about problems with the 815 chipset.
