Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The PCI-bus version of this card (not the AGP or the PICe) has a very interesting technical challenge.
This card implements a PCI-to-PCI bridge on the board, and, this messes-up a lot of machines.
Normally bridges are on the motherboard, and the BIOS of the motherboard advertises them in the ACPI table.
Since the bridge comes as part of PnP discovery, the resource arbiter must be able to find bus address space for the bridge and the card.
This can be challenging, because BIOS out there are full of bugs, and, the resource abiter must trust the BIOS before the BUS.
The bottom line is: you may not even see the card coming up in device manager, and, you might need to disable other PCI devices to get this to work.
Dell machines are particularly bad on this.
On my HP xw4200 i got to work by removing a 1694 adapter, and by disabling the Memory Setup in the arbiter
