I've had "Dell video cards" before only to find out that they are actually OEM [not all, of course].. and a problem working with others.
My friend dicked with it until he got it to work. He still didn't get it exactly right because I had to disable the nvadia service because when I booted up I got some error report report "send request". Once I went to services and disabled nvadia services I quit getting the report. John
I think the drivers need to come of the dell site somewhere, although a quick check by me didn't find the ones for the 5200 listed. John
For there to be Dell drivers, Dell would have had to have offered that card as an option originally. In the absence of that, you have to try and fuss with other drivers and hope you can get them to work.
This guy built other machines for me and is the type to not give up until it works. I trade a friend and he also bought the card to put into an older compaq machine. Ray, my friend, had issues with the compaq machine recognizing the 5200 card also. So I believe that is why he believed the nvadia drivers were not right. But you know how computer geeks are. They always got some excuse. From the internet I found a forum where a guy had problems with dell recongizing second cards. The "expert" on the forum said that the dell drivers were different in some way and were to be used for cards in general. John John
In any event, trying to run 2 or more cards is always at least somewhat a hit-and-miss proposition... unless the cards were inteded for such use, like workstations models. To avoid potential hassles, traders who are going to run multi-card really should be looking at Nvidia Quadro NVS or Matrox from the get go. There were designed for such.
