Bought a used ATI 9800XT video card. installed in a know good computer (Dell precision 330) already has an ATI card in it(HD2600XT). Display is totally distorted ( rectangular blocks of black, grey, purple, green) on boot.
Removed and put back the 2600 in it and is fine. Is the 9800 trashed?

Yes, that's a symptom of a failed video card. Replacement time!
