</div>There is none -- there's no software bug. The instant the card is<br>
installed, the entire video system slows to a crawl. I keep looking<br>
in the BIOS for something that will help, but the only thing I see is<br>
an option to select "Auto, IDG, PCI, PCIE". Unfortunately, selecting<br>
PCIE doesn't have any apparent effect other than to turn off the IDG<br>
output. Even the BIOS screen paints excruciatingly slow. I thought<br>
installing the NVidia driver would help, but it didn't. This appears<br>
to be a hardware clash, but I find no way to fix it in BIOS or with<br>
jumpers.<br>
