Latest Bios for the 6VTA2 is 7/99 so with a Bios from 12/2000 this must be a different Board .
Have a look at the small white sticker on your Flashrom - usually the model number should be printed onto it .
What's the Problem with your Geforce ?
Deleted old drivers from previous VGA card ?
Installed latest VIA 4in1 ?
Used a recent version of NVidia drivers ?

On my mother board it says its 6VTA2.. the problem with my geforce is that i it is the exact same graphics and everything as my other one.. i don't notice any change at all.. i used to have an Nvidia TNT2 Model 64.. its a lot older...
so its the same everything in every way... It didn't work at first so i just totally formated my computer.... but still its not working... i tried doing all kinds of things.. still same graphics... i put it into safe mode... then removed the TNT drivers... shut down... took out TNT.. put in GF3 then started up and installed.... same graphics....

There's "06/02/2000-693-596-8671-2A6LGC3AC-00" BIOS on www.nix.ru - newer than the Chaintech one but still older than yours... Please save your BIOS to a file and send it to my e-mail. Maybe someone will find it useful.
