    4 Meg Apeture, G400 and Windows 2000 problem:FIC's response

    It is 32MB AGP card draw too much current PA-2013 can take, you may not be told in
    wn98, but clear show in windows2000. Please drop to 16MB one to reach a stable system.

    PMTo: FIC MainboardsSubject: PA-2013 rev 2.0 and Apeture
    problem in Win2k
    Hi I am running Windows 2000 rev 2195 and I have
    a PA-2013 Rev 2.0 motherboard which is running the bios JI4323 which your
    tech
    support mailed to me. Is this is this the best bios to run with Windows
    2000?
    My problem is that I have a Matrox G400 32 meg AGP card which worked great
    under win98. The only way I can get it to work in Win2k is to set the
    apeture
    size in the bios to 4 megs. Any setting higher than that results in a black
    screen at startup. I talked to Matrox tyech support and they told me that
    all
    of the people they have talked to who had this problem had FIC motherboards.

    They suggested that my bios might not be totally Windows 2000 complaint or
    ACPI complaint (even though I have my pc set to Standard PC in Win2k). Can
    you please help me with this problem? Is it a problem with the bios you sent me?

    Is there a better one for Windows 2000? Thx

      That problem would've shown up in Win98 if it was a current cupply problem to the agp slot. That excuse to 'get a 16mb version' is total BS. Another reason why I don't like FIC mobos... crappy tech support.

        I have a 32meg G400 card in my VA 503A mobo that runs windows 98 fine, and the PA 2013 are the same as the VA 503A just the PA is ATX and the VA is AT.

            You guys think this is true? I would have thought that the problem would have shown itself in Windows 98 as well.
