The technical support on the IBM website indicates that a specific AGP card must be used, but it does not give the name(s) of any compatible cards. The link to the ServerProven site does not yield any specific information either. What AGP card model(s) fit in the IBM Netfinity 1000? |

The server comes with S3 Trio3D video adapter integrated into the motherboard, according to http://www.linuxtested.com/results/netfinity1000_1.html (says 2MB video memory) and http://developer.novell.com/yes/59677.htm . The IBM site at http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-49LQL5 says the system comes with 4MB of video memory, which could be a slightly different model. The hardware maintenance manual at http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-4793Q6 (PDF file) says an AGP card can be installed (which will override the build in video feature). As you say, there is insufficient information at http://www.pc.ibm.com/us/compat/ on this particular machine. Your best bet is to contact IBM using the contact information at http://www.ibm.com/contact/us/ and ask them about it (and give them time to give you a useful reply). From the other information available, it appears any older AGP video card supported by the operating system with the right driver should work (the news ones should be compatible as well) - but that's only a reasonable assumption and not a fact unless verified by IBM. Good luck. -- I am not an official GA researcher. |

Thanks for the suggestion. I have sent an email to IBM and will wait patiently for a response. Any ideas on a PCI video card that supports Windows Server 2003? |
