the lindbergh card it either a 6800 or 7800 agp,if you put it on another pc at least you can prove that is the problem

[ginodifagna]

is for lindbergh a common problems the video card broken ??

now i buy new one, ... but ... what models are good ?

very common problem on lindbergh yes,do you have a photo of your graphics card?
they are not cheap though and very difficult to find
i am not sure if the lindbergh mobo goes into error if you boot without a graphics card-probably does

[ginodifagna]

ps. "made in china" .. is there the problem ??

thank's a lot

Both Andy and Craig sell the official Lindbergh gpu cards.

probably got custom BIO's on them, hence the inflated price over the stock ones
might be worth shooting myuniversallove a message, as he has experience of these.
have you tried it on a lcd ? as you say your are connected to a CRT!

Are they special or something? £170 is a LOT for an AGP 7800.

not special just rare-no special bios either

[speedlolita]

So they need a correct bios then. Ah.

Price is simple, you find NEW 7800GS video cards, they where in limited supply when they came out as they where one of the last AGP video cards, now its 5 years on, and PC hardware is hard to source in Qty.

You can buy second hand ones of eBay, but results vary, some last months, some last days. Depending on game you will need a Rev A 7800GS, later 7800GS video cards are 7900GS GPU.

China 7800GS with 512MB are bootlegs, they are not suitable, as they will be slooower than a ZX spectrum.
