Presario 5000 and ATI Radeon 9200
Has anyone got this combination working?
Im not impressed with ATI, the install is abysmall and the computer will only boot into safe mode, a boot into normal mode results in random graphics and lockups. The 5000 has a VIA 82C586A chipset and AMP CPU, possibly not the best match in the computing world. Im going to try and update the VIA drivers. |

I got a Presario 5000 WV series working, first upgrade the Compaq Bios to 3/28/02 then the latest Radeon drivers for the card, that should work. The drivers were fussy, had to install and reboot around 3 times. OS was win Me |
