Soyo Dragon plus (P4S) motherboard incompatiblity

:-[  Turns out that the latest GForce4  video cards are not compatible with the newer Soyo Dragon Plus mother board  (not agp or pci) without sending the motherboard back to the manufacturer to be reworked for compatibility. . I was going around in circles trying to figure out what is wrong until  Soyo contacted me.  See below for my  excerpts for the email correspondence between myself and Soyo.

Problem Description:
I have a creative blaster 4  DDR 400 MHZ mx440 with 64mb of memeory on it. it is a geforce4 ddr  AGP video card.   my Soyo P4S Dragon Ultra mother board will not recognize it (one long beep two short). I know the card works as I tried it in another persons computer with an msi mother board and it reocgnzies it right away with no proplem at all.   yes, the agp slot works on my soyo ok as I  am running it right now with a borrowed video card I have which is a hercules 4000xt with 32 mb of sdram (not the newer ddr).  I have tried flashing the bios to various levels  and it did not help. I have tried various bios settings that I have found on various forums and that did not help. I now have the latest flash and it does not work.  another odd thing is that I even tried a PCI DDR card in it and it does not work either! same symptom  it just will not recognize it. I tried it in every slot and tried changing the bios settings to every combination imagineable and no go.   That card was   a PCI Xtasy nvidia gforce4 mx420 with 64mb of memeory. I know it is good as I use it in my 2nd computer. ( it is an asus MB with a celeron 500 cpu and sdram  not ddr) Yet I can put any other  PCI card into my soyo MB such as a S3 and they work.   It appears that I cannot use any video card with ddr memory on it on this soyo mother board. Or is it the gforce4 Nivida chipset that is the problem ? since both the cards that I canot use are Nividia gforce 4 and both have ddr memory.  HELP!!!!! Obviously there is some incompatabilty here. I really wnat to use the Gforce4 ddr as it is very very good and fast.  Is there a bios patch I need or something. Or is the board bad?  everything  else seems quite alright with the video card I am borrowng right now (the sdram card). I have no other symptoms.  I am waiting a response.

I have the same damn problem, and i live in Sweden. And i don't want to send my M/B to the states (it will dissapear maybe) so i got to live with this problem

Works fine for my K7V Dragon + ??

You are correct.  the problem is only with the Dragon Pentium4 series boards.
