I have a radeon 9000 128 mb video card. I went to www.ati.com and it states that one of the minimum requirements is 64 mb ram. I know the Radeon video card is 128mb DDR memory and was wondering before I go and install this card if I also need DDR memory on the motherboard as well or will the pc100 384mb ram be just fine. This is my current setup to my computer: Shuttle AK-11 Motherboard, Athlon 1.2 266 FSB processor, (3)128mb pc100 memory, Directx 8.1 and Windows 98. Thanks for your help.-Mrarchwire

Yes the card will work fine in your machine with no problems, you don't need DDR on the motherboard your SDRAM will do fine, DDR is only on the graphic card as it will be faster than SDRAM, which makes it better for games
Goodluck

I went to www.ati.com and downloaded the Windows ME drivers. I am running Win 98 on mine and said in order for this to work I need to use the Me drivers. So I downloade the drivers. I then took out my old video drivers, shut down my system, removed the old card, added Radeon 9000 and started it back up. First, I installed the Win Me drivers from ati.com then I installed the disk that came with the video card. i went into SYSTEM and clicked on performance and it stated something about that drive A and C are using Ms-Dos Compatibility Mode Paging System. I have no idea what this is about. Any ideas? The other thing is that When I installed my Radeon card it only wants to boot up in Safe Mode. If i try to boot up normally the screen goes blank and that is it. Any help is greatly appreciated.
