oh i have the same mobo....
but i also have the geforce mx 440se with 4x agp port.. so no probs.. here..
i did have probs with the 5700 .. the pc used to freeze.. not so sure why.
so reversed back to mx..

A7N266-VM has been reported to have problems with drivers , supplied on the CD, particularly with WIN 98SE. What is your OS? Downloading unified drivers from the NVidia site and installing the same should solve the problem.
