I put a post up in the Motherboards and Chipsets section. I bought the Soyo P4I Fire DRAGON motherboard. I just sent it in because it has an incompatibility problem with the GeForce4 GPU.
No, this is not a hoax. I just received a PNY geforce4 board equipped computer and it's a nightmare. Benchmarks run great, but the computer freezes running video games and DVDs. Hold off on buying one. The board manufacturers have yet to acknowledge the problem. And I wouldn't take the recommendations on mobos here too seriously. I've read posts where one mobo worked, while the identical mobo didn't. Hold on till the card makers agree to fix this problem. I spent $3000.00 dollars on a system that doesn't work. Save your money and wait till these idiots fix it. It's generally across the board, though I've heard no complaints from elsa users. Visiontek Xtacy boards are the absolute worst. Hang on to your dollars until they fix this! And don't buy a software or voltage fix. They don't work. The board is flawed and needs fixed...wait on it. On the positive side....this board is amazing when it actually runs!
This is bullcrap...The Visiontek Xtasy boards are very high quality and i've installed several in both intel and via chipset boards with p4's and athlons and they all work just fine. I personally own a Visiontek TI 4600 and its rock solid even when heavily overclocked. The boards are not flawed. The only thing people need to worry about if they're setup well is whether the card interfers with tall objects on the motherboard which is not a hard thing to check.
So, STOP trying to scare people to death just cause you had are having a bad computer day and dont know how to fix it. And you dont know how to fix it cause if you did you wouldn't have bought a pre built computer. and PNY? Who buys PNY graphics cards when they want good performance?
Incompatibility problems with specific motherboards occasional occur with all hardware, there's just too much different stuff out there to all work perfect all the time. My advice, buy your stuff somewhere you can exchange for a different item if you have one of those rare problems.

A tech support person told me they were getting all kinds of compatibility problems with this board. I've since read many posts on various message boards with a host of complaints about the GeForce4. The company that made my computer has suspended ALL shipments with this card until the problem is fixed.
Assuming this is a serious post (hard to believe):
>. I just received a PNY geforce4 board equipped computer and it's a nightmare.
And your blaming the fact that your new computer won't work on the video card within it? Could be a lot of other problems as well.
>The board manufacturers have yet to acknowledge the problem.
What problem? That your new computer doesn't work?
>I spent $3000.00 dollars on a system that doesn't work.
Seriously...send (or take) it back!
>I've read posts where one mobo worked, while the identical mobo didn't
Usually, it is human error that causes problems when you see this. Dis-similar hardware, different settings, OS, etc. People give their opinion from their experiences just as you are. Your problem sounds like it has not been entirely fleshed out. What does your system manufacturer say? If they are blaming it on the GF4, I'd send the system back while it is under warranty and tell them to send you one that works as advertised right out of the box.
Good luck,

The GeForce4 MX boards have a known incompatability with the MSI 6380(k7t266) boards. I guess I should say that the MSI Mobo's have the incompatability. It's not the chipset, it's a problem with power consumption from the video card. The mobo can't handle it and has to be sent in to be repaired.
Yeah...the power supply (main board, not system) is a killer to a lot of mianboard-video card combos. I had a Abit BH6 that just did not have enough juice going to the AGP slot to run a GF2Ti200. The GF2 MX ran fine. Looking at a lot of posts regarding video card problems that have the exact same symptons leads me to think this is a fairly wide spread problem.
Heh...I am waiting for the day when ALL vid cards have their own 12 V connex.

I just built a PC from scratch from the ground up:
Leadtek Ti4400
AMD XP2000+
Asus A7V333 KT333 Chipset
256mb PC2700 CAS2 RAM
Windows XP Home
Board installed PERFECT the first time. I did NOT install any BIOS updates or Video driver updates. Runs perfect out of the box.
The night I built it, I installed the brand new Dungeon Siege game and it has run perfectly for hours on end. I've not had one video lockup or failure.

Sorry, I don't have a link to any websites, just the word of the manufacturer of the PC. It was made by a boutique Computer maker, Elementpc. According to them, the cards were replaced by Visiontek after they submitted videos of the problem behavior to Visiontek.
hey whats up people im not trolling but i rarely post and i ussually view messages. Their must be some kind of compatiabilty problem because at newegg.com gigabyte thinks its serious enough to place a sticker on the agp port saying FULLY COMPATIBLE with NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 MX4(NV17). i provided the link <A HREF="http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=13-128-137-01.JPG/13-128-137-02.JPG/13-128-137-03.JPG/13-128-137-04.JPG" target="_new">http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=13-128-137-01.JPG/13-128-137-02.JPG/13-128-137-03.JPG/13-128-137-04.JPG</A> oh yea is the Gigabyte GA-7VRX, VIA KT333
