Problems adding a AGP Video Card to GX150
I don't wanna use the on-board video card, so I'm trying to add a ATI Rage 128 Pro 16 Meg AGP video card to a OptiPlex GX150 and it just won't work. I removed the placeholder thingie in the AGP slot and pop in the ATI card, connect VGA cable to the ATI card, power on... then nothing... nothing comes on screen. I power down and connect cable back to on-board video port, power on and then nothing....
In the BIOS, AGP slot is set to Enabled, Primary Video Controller is set to Auto and IOAPIC is set to disabled under Integrated Devices... Do I have to change something in the BIOS???
Any ideas?
Tested the card in another machine and it works for sure
TIA

Stop messing around or you will FRY the AGP slot and then NO CARD WILL EVER WORK AGAIN.
Most modern boards DO NOT SUPPORT 3.3v AGP 1.0 Spec cards. Those cards have only 1 keyway slot cut in them.
