2/23    I'm having some trouble with a new video card. It's a Diamond Stealth
        II G460; my mainboard is an ASUS P5A. Under Win98, I can't change my
        display settings beyond 16color/320x240 resolution. The card is not
        supported by non-Intel motherboards/chipsets. Thing is, people have
        been able to get it working by playing around with the bios. I've
        downloaded the latest bios. My question is this: should I flash my
        bios, and if I do, what settings do I have to change? Thanks alot.

        \_ Is the card AGP?  You might need to add motherboard specific
           drivers to be able to use the AGP port.  Your 320/240/4 resolution
           sounds like the windows default when you can't find a display
           driver.  To make my Monster Fusion work on my ASUS SS7, I had
           to install Win98 with Standard VGA for my video, then install
           AGP support for my motherboard, then DirectX >= 5.x, and finally
           the drivers for the Monster Fusion.  After all of that, it works
           great.  --sowings
           \_ Ok, so does the "install AGP support" step involve the bios
              flashing?
