Okay, so I just got screwed on eBay for a PCI nvidia card versus an agp one. My motherboard only has two PCI slots I was planning on using for sound and HDTV, so I wanted to get an AGP solution. Of course, the damned monkey that sold me the card on eBay couldn't tell his ass from an atm machine, so I'm sitting here with a PCI card in my lap and a quizzical look on my face.

I've taken all of the steps to prep my machine for an nvidia install. The machine is still using it's onboard VGA for the time being (plugging in an AGP card would have overridden it... with the PCI card it's still active.)

Honestly, I'm not sure where to go with this. There's no signal on the PCI card. Ugh. I wish I still drank. I'd be drunk now. :evil:

Let me know what you need to know and please help me get back on the path of righteousness.

Thanks.

All right, well the jackass is apparently going to take back the card (how nice of him), so now I just have to wait another 10 days to pick up another cheap geforcemx card. Fun! Thanks anyways, this card is pulled from my system now. Have yourself a nice evening.
