Hello everyone.

I recently bought a Ati Radeon 9200 video card and when I installed it I had a few problems. My computer would start up very slow and the resolution would start out at a very low number( just a hair above 600x800 I believe) Then if I tired to increase the resolution, my computer would restart.

I am thinking it's possible my computer is not able to handle the new video card; here are my specs.

Amd Athlon 1800 +
1.49 GHZ
512 MB Ram
Radeon 700 (previous video card)
Plextor DVDR PX-716A
2 seperate hard drives = 145 GIG

This computer i'm using is being slowly built up from the average piece it used to be, I believe if I replace the Motherboard,processor, double the memory and with the new video card i'll be on my way.

I would appreciate any advice/wisdom on the subject, thank you
