I just sent back my GeForce2 MX 400 because it was not working with my Athlon and AMD 760 DDR motherboard. There seemed to be no way to fix the lockups in any 3d game. I got a Radeon 64mb DDR VIVO Retail. Has ANYONE had any problems, becasue my parents will be pretty mad if it does not work. https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/5.gif
BTW- what driver should I run it with?

Your gf2 mx should have worked. Did you install all the 4-1 drivers?

My Rig
I had MASSIVE problems with a Radeon and the old KX133 chipset...but eventually they fixed that, and every chipset after that has been fine...
------------------
"I think, therefore I, uh, think."
BIG RIG:
Tyan Thunder K7 M/B
Dual AMD Athlon MPs at 1.2Ghz
Supercharged Thermoengine HSFs
1Gb Crucial CAS 2.5 PC2100 RAM
IBM Deskstar 20Gb 7,200 RPM ATA/100
Hercules 3D Prophet II
SoundBlaster Live! Value
IBM P260 21" Trinitron
Pioneer 16x DVD-ROM
Windows 2000 Professional
...and then there's my second gaming rig, and my file/proxy server, and my web server, and...
works fine on my abit KT7-raid... just make sure you use the via 4 in 1s and then install the latest betas or the 89s https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2005/06/6.gif

Athlon TB @840 (140*6) on
KT7A
Radeon 32DDR, drivers: 7075,
...
but: i don't see any reason why your MX didn't work, good luck for this one.
PS: 4in1 drivers are only necessary if you have a 686B southbridge (no heatsink on it, take a look).

If the world did not suck, we all would fall off.
I have no idea why the GeForce did not work. They said it was some kind of problem with a very few number of Athlon systems. The ATi website has the same problem that I am having with my GeForce in its Radeon help section; they also say the same thing. I think maybe I should try a new motherboard next https://www.sharkyforums.com/images/.../2002/01/1.gif

Everyone is talking about the 4in1 via drivers, but he DON'T have a via chipset!
So no 4 in 1 or it will be worst than that.
Anyway, you should not have any problems with the Radeon; it's rock solid.
oh yeah... i totally overlooked that LOLQuote:

Actually you are both wrong! The AMD 760 chipset uses the AMD 760 northbridge and a Via 686B Southbridge. I am running the latest AMD drivers, and the latest Via 4-in-1 drivers.
