Rage XL 8MB PCI Video Card PCI - ATI Rage XL 8MB PCI Video Card PCI

SOURCE: Can not get card to display on the monitor

Have you set your system to use a second monitor? Right click the desktop and choose Properties. In the Settings tab, click the 2nd monitor and check the box that says Extend my windows desktop onto this monitor. If that fixes it, please rate me accordingly. If not, let me know and we'll try something else.

Hi,

The ATI Rage XL 8MB PCI video card is a very old and low power video card.

PCI graphics cards are not as fast as AGP graphics cards so if your motherboard has an AGP slot (it's the slot closest to the CPU and is usually coloured brown) then that would give you better performance.

These days AGP has been superceded by PCI-Express but since your motherboard does not have a PCI-Express slot then the best graphics card for it would be something like this one:

Hope this helps, please rate my answer :)
