Possible intermittent problem with the mobo slot
the graphics card is
going into?
mmm... so a mobo problem... that would be annoying. Does that actually happen?
Yes. I have one motherboard here that has both PCI and AGP slots. It
worked fine with AGP (running Windows) for a long while. Then the AGP
socket started developing intermittent connection problems that
progressively got worse until the AGP slot quit working entirely. In the
meantime, PCI video cards work just fine.
