    have a computer here, Its a gateway 2000,
    G6 266MHz, with 128 ram,
    Not too sure what the make of the vid card is (not mine)
    I've tried a few video cards in the machine agp/pci, and still nothing seems to be sending to the moniter, anyone know what the problem could be?
    Possibly the motherboard needing replacement?
    Help appreacated,
    thanks.

    I bet ya the card is an stb card. Gateway gave them out with their early pentium II's. I got one, piece of crap!

    You might have tried it already but did you try to install the card to a different pci slot? I know its a long shot but just in case.

    The card is actualy in the AGP slot, and theres no more avaible, about what card it is.. I honestly don't know
    I tried other vti and pci and agp cards in it in the dfferent slots, no luck with them either, the card just has "made in mexico" as the only writing on it..
    Any other sujjestions?
    Would you suggest me buying another Motherboard, or will I buy a new motherboard with a new processor, and transfare the rest, if so, got links of prices aswell by any chance? :)
