You may find that on motherboards that are only AGP 1.0 compliant you may be able to fix this problem
by putting insulating tape over the last pair of contacts on the AGP connector on the GeForce card (the
contact furthest from the monitor port, on both sides). This has been tested on the Chaintech 6BTM
motherboard. You may find that once you have done this once you will be able to take the tape back off
(even if the tape didn't seem to have any effect).

Q. I have an Intel D815EEA motherboard and I have various problems with the GeForce.
What's up?
Unfortunately it seems that this motherboard has various issues with the GeForce, including display corruption
and instability. The only advice I can give at the moment is to bug Intel to try and find out what's wrong - these
problems don't occur on other i815 motherboards - and don't buy one of these motherboards if you have the
choice.

Q. Will my Gigabyte 6BA, 6BXC, 6BXE or BX2000(+) work with the GeForce?
Yes, so long as you have the revision which have 'Voodoo3' jumpers. If you close these jumpers (put a jumper
block over them) the card should work. If it does not have these jumpers, the motherboard does not meet the
AGP specification - see the 'What's all this with the GeForce and early LX / BX / Via 133 motherboards?'
question for more information.
The GeForce2 series does not have this problem because it uses a 0.18 micron architecture that requires less
power.
This is a table of the revisions that do or do not have the 'Voodoo3' jumpers, kindly provided by Clay Pot:
Model Version Jumper? Jumper location

2.9 and below No
3.0 and above Yes JP11, JP12
