Hi Tom -

Well, there are a few choices. I have a spare PCI S3 card that I can bring if you want to take the machine to the Help Desk and see if it's a mobo problem..
I know the S3 card works because its a pull that I had working on one of my machines before I got a Matrox, and I'm currently using an S3 PCI card in an
ABit dual cpu server with WSeB and SciTech drivers. And I recently had an ATI Rage working in another ABit machine (it was an Expert Pro 2000- -- read
Rage 128) that I picked up at the Pamona show OEM for $61.

If you can get your money back and want AGP, you could go with a Matrox -- I have both a G400 dual head and an old Millineum 200 working without
problems.

Hope this helps,

Tony Butka
