Works fine on mine, although ATI has made several different cards, all of which they sell as a Mach64. Most PCI motherboards support 128MB of RAM, but some PCI motherboards only support 64MB of RAM. If that's true of yours try setting the "membase" option to a number lower than 64M. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
