Well I suggest get more ram maybe 512MB 400MHz or 1GB.....and get a cheaper gfx card....
Get a 6600LE .....for 3k....from Lamington Road..and buy more ram of the remaining money..

Hey man tat is a good idea to get more RAM for my System (D 865 GBF) approx. 1 GB of DDR(400) RAM :D

:D:D:Dhello everybody!!:D:D:D
can someone tell me that whether a 8x AGP card can be put in a 4X AGP slot. and also regarding the voltage thats 1.5 v slot and if the 8X card is ok for this voltage configuration
thanks :p:p:p

samrulez
15-11-2006, 02:00 PM
yeah! It works but not at its full potential !
Thus you should get a low end 8X card such as 5200,6200,6600 etc etc..

Come on guys, reply plz... : (: (



BTW, I contacted Zebronics www.zebronics.net/graphicscards.asp Mumbai, Phone : 022 - 2300 9539 for Nvidia AGP card and the person said tat:
1.) Leadtek GeForce 7600GS (256 MB) will be for Rs.9000/- and
2.) GeForce 6800 XT (512 MB) for Rs.10,000/-

So please tell me wich AGP card I shud go for ? Any other apart from these 2 mentioned above ? How is LEadtek ? Is the price justified ? Will it create any bottleneck due to my config given below ?

My mobo is Intel D865 GBF, AGP slot. and P-4, 2Ghz processor with 256 MB DDR(266) Hynix RAM. Win XP as OS

Would you please help?

My old system has:
Intel Pentium III 800MHz Processor
Intel E815EEA Motherboard
512 MB PC133 SDRAM Memory
Mercury 235W SMPS

The motherboard has:
Integrated 82815 Graphics
Universal 4x AGP Slot (supports cards with 3.3V and 1.5V)

The system is used for basic internet browsing and office work. No games.

Currently I am able to run MS Windows Vista Ultimate (Non-Aero) at 640x480 in 16 Bit Colour. I would like to run Aero UI at 1024 x 768 in 16 Bit Colour. Will I be able to do this adding a XFX nVidia GeForce 6200 256MB? Do I need to upgrade my SMPS? If Yes, what do I need (Wattage and brandname)?

Waiting for a solution. Thanks.

the 6600gt is arnd 7500-8k in del... 128mb... not sure tho...will check...
and yea... kinda sad that dx10's gonna be pretty much restricted to vista...
and vista's gonna have somewhat killer security... thats what it seems at the moment... vicious circle it is...
and i read abt the first dx10 compatible card... the nvidia 8800gtx... theres only 2 cards in the 8 series as of now... 8800gtx and 8800gts.... and hell... this one's killin it all... read about the 3dmark tests, left the x1950xtx far behind...
and bliss currently comes at a very nominal 36k or sumthn... :rolleyes:

I finally upgraded to XFX nVidia GeForce FX 5200 256MB. It fits well on the Universal 4x AGP Slot of my motherboard and works fine on the existing Mercury 235W SMPS.

This is the cheapest card that you can upgrade to in order to run Aero.

^^ guys wats the difference b'ween Quadro and GeForce cards?:confused:

hash!!
29-11-2006, 12:07 AM
googled a bit for that...
quadro is for realtime rendering... as in its best used by ppl who 'indulge' in 3d modelling, animation etc... othrwise, it sucks for gaming...
geforce is for 'pre-rendering'.... usual gamer stuff... renders the polygons n stuff first, then the end result shows up on ur screen as eye candy...
and from what i read, ppl majorly into serious modelling shld get quadros... its not worth it othrwise... and its sh!t expensive too... theres a huge price diff b/w quadro n geforce cards...
and yea... it gets hardware rendering in maya... havent worked a lot on maya as yet, so dunno wht that means...
so i guess u shld get a geforce/gaming card.... unless ofcourse, ure only into 3d modelling/anim....

@gammit...
this is fun... cuz im just startin to play around a bit wid 3dsmax, so knowin abt all this is sure gonna help me...
aight so this is wht i've found out... fx 540 is an entry level pro graphics card... ie for 3d modelling/anim... and entry level is kinda expensive cuz of the cult it is aimed at.... 299$.... check out this link for detailed comparison... http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=3321
all i could figure out is that render time is drastically reduced wid quadro cards or firegl (ati's pro cards).... performance wid design specific softwares is a lot better...
tho they've included a consumer oriented card in the comparison, ie, the 7800gtx... which, i believe is almost the same price range as the fx540 now...
i just went by the figures cuz im pretty much new to the idea of gettin a designing/modelling specific card, and i'd rather stick to the gaming oriented ones at the moment cuz im sadly into both...:D

8x Graphics card
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hi all,

My machine is a Intel P4(HT)2.4 Ghz machine with 865GBF mother Board, Windows XP-Pro (SP2) and 512 Mb Simtronics DDR Ram.

I plan to buy a graphics card to add on to my machine. Currently there is a 64Mb on board graphics card and Games like NFS most wanted runs on it.
And I would like to play NFS Carbon, so is looking for a new graphics card. 128 or 256 Mb.

Could you please advice which graphics card to buy? My budget is around 3.5 to 4K. I saw Geforce5200, but its a pretty old chipset. I am looking forward for your suggestions of graphics card that supports AGP 8X.

Thanks in advance.

I'd suggest u to find a 6800GT (nv40 based) .. those are softmoddable to Quadro's and infact perform a lot better than a normal Quadro ... the 6800GT can be softmodded into a Quadro FX4000 (using one myself) ...

Oh btw , make sure u have atleast a dual core for such kind of things , make's a huuuuggee difference ..

but 6800GT is made for gaming purpose. and quadro FX is for workstation. and if you are saying that it is equivalant to Quadro FX 4000(very costly i think).

ohk... softmodding wont help... they say that theres certain features which r available on quadro chips, which can be 'unlocked/softmodded' on geforce variants.....
but dude... that wont help... quadro chips r meant for design specific work... they're built for long duration use.... 3d design apps recognize quadros and give better working options... render time is reduced massively... u can hook up more displays.... u can hook up 2 monitors and one hdtv to a fx540.... sumthn like that... thats like 3 displays.... at a good res....
and about a 6800 being softmodded into a fx4000? i found this : http://www.xbitlabs.com/news/video/display/20040428145354.html
it is kinda old though...
cant really say what u have or what ure using... :)
gaming aside, from all that i've read, ppl who r totally into 3d anim/modelling use boards like quadros n firegl's....

A softmodded 6800GT is infact better than the actual FX4000

GeForce 6800 GT = 16 pixel pipes, 6 vertex processing units, 350 MHz core / 2*500 (1000) Mhz memory speed
Quadro FX 4000 = 12 pixel pipes, 6 vertex processing units, 325 MHz core / 2*500 (1000) Mhz memory speed

ohk... softmodding wont help... they say that theres certain features which r available on quadro chips, which can be 'unlocked/softmodded' on geforce variants.....
but dude... that wont help... quadro chips r meant for design specific work... they're built for long duration use.... 3d design apps recognize quadros and give better working options... render time is reduced massively..

Well , it does work .. 100% , i can put anything on the line for it if i have to .. as i'm using one myself .. a nv40,A1 6800GT softmodded to a Quadro FX4000 . works damm fine .. All Gefore chips are not softmoddable , but only a few are .. and in particular the 6800GT is , and infact works better than the actual FX4000 .. Take a look at these links :

http://forums.guru3d.com/showthread.php?t=172822 (how to)

Go through the next few pages , and u'll see direct comparison's between a normal 6800GT and a softmodded FX4000 ... and u'll be shocked literally .. all benchmarks are done using SPECviewperf 6.1.2 ... i've done it following this , and i'm really pleased with the results ..

Only the newer Quadro's are .. viz FX4400 and above .. FX4000 and 6800GT use the same core , nv40 ... infact nv45/nv48 are the same nv40 core , with just a PCIe AGP bridge chip ... though some newer 6800GT's use the nv41 core , ur most probable to find a one with nv40 core ... and if so , ur lucky enough to get a very pwerfull high end Quadro card for almost cheap prices (compare 18k's to over 100k's i presume) ...

I dont think anybody will switch to Vista that easily and DX10 cards will cost a bomb for atleast next 6 months. So if you need a card immediately go for a mediocre one then upgrade when DX10 prices crash.

thats almost similar in terms of pricing too .. but the ddr3 variant of the 7300GT is hardly available .. so ur better off with a 7600GS or the 7600GT ..

waiting for dx10 is an indefinite one... now that u wont be upgrading to vista in the near future, and dx10 is prolly gonna be packed specifically for vista(not quite sure about that)....
moreover, dx10 specific games would take atleast 6-12 months to stream into the market... i guess theres only one dx10 card at the moment... the 8800gtx.. hehehhh.. and thats killer, and sh!t expensive too... so forget it... and dont be petrified of the fact that vista needs dx10 cards... there are dx9 cards comin up which claim to be vista ready.... i saw a powercolour x1300, x1600 which said so on the cover.... dx10 specific games would be backward compatible, u might just miss out on a lil eye-candy here n there... wont make a big diff... and i guess it'l take a while for developers to harness the new stuff wid dx10...
im just blabbering off on wht i've read here n there... lolz...
bottomline, get a dx9 card, wont make a big difference...

waiting for dx10 is an indefinite one... now that u wont be upgrading to vista in the near future, and dx10 is prolly gonna be packed specifically for vista(not quite sure about that)....
moreover, dx10 specific games would take atleast 6-12 months to stream into the market... i guess theres only one dx10 card at the moment... the 8800gtx.. hehehhh.. and thats killer, and sh!t expensive too... so forget it... and dont be petrified of the fact that vista needs dx10 cards... there are dx9 cards comin up which claim to be vista ready.... i saw a powercolour x1300, x1600 which said so on the cover.... dx10 specific games would be backward compatible, u might just miss out on a lil eye-candy here n there... wont make a big diff... and i guess it'l take a while for developers to harness the new stuff wid dx10...
im just blabbering off on wht i've read here n there... lolz...
bottomline, get a dx9 card, wont make a big difference...

then which DX9 card shud i go for ?? i hav a budget max. of 10000/-

also mention the prices of XFX - 7800 series {gt , gs , gtx }
n 7600 series if possible :)

will it run nfs CARBON at medium settings ???

7600GT is just under 10k's .. and a big no to the current 7800 series .. coz the 7900 series have much better offerings .. specially the 7900GS .. i can suggest u to gather up some more and get a XFX 7900GS for 15k's .. it'll be worth the money , OC it to around 600/1600 and u'll be having a card better than the 7900GT ...

CINTEL ENTRINO
09-12-2006, 01:48 AM
OC it to around 600/1600

wat does that mean ... can u explain ...

n why r u sayin no to series 7800 ... any architecure issues or heat-issues ???

r4gs
09-12-2006, 04:30 PM
That means that you overclock the core of the card to 600Mhz and memory to 1600MHz. This is not recommended though unless you know what you are doing and have decent cooling. It also voids the warranty.
And regarding the 7800, its only that the 7900 offers better performance in a similar price range
__________
OK on another note,
how uch power does a 7900GS require?
ditto for a 7600GT.
I have a 300W smps (original HP with a 19A 12V rail) and I was wondering if it was sufficient.

dude.. get a 7600gt... it'l be nice enough to u for another 1-1.5 years... thats my current projection... im just hoping not to wake up tmrw mornin(or the near-future subsequent ones) to find dx10 and dx10 games floodin the market... u can play most of the cool stuff available in the mkt at good detail levels on the 7600gt... google a bit about it, read some reviews, you'l get to know what u want....
me, im tryin to get a 7600gt agp myself... its arnd 8k in singapore... so tryin to find sum1 who can get it for me...
and about carbon, hell... its not very graphic intensive, u prolly wrote that in sum other respect, but whteva, it runs cool even on my medieval radeon 9200 128mb + 768mb ddr ram.... nfsmw dragged a bit on that config tho... :)

It also voids the warranty.

for gods sake .. IT DOES NOT

n why r u sayin no to series 7800

Coz they still costs a lot .. a 7900GS oc'ed can perform better than a 7800GTX anytime , yet the later is priced around 8k's more than the 7900GS ..

I don't know about not voiding the warranty, because I overclocked my X300SE by 10% and was later told by the vendor that overclocking voids the warranty.
Though you probably have a point, because I doubt it can be proved

samrulez
10-12-2006, 04:59 PM
Well....if you ran a card higher than its factory clocks it does void warranty....but they really don't check if its due to overclocking...So you can RMA oc'ed cards but just don't tell anyone that you oc'ed it ;)

ambandla
11-12-2006, 02:52 PM
Increasing the frequency will never void warranty.

Increasing cole voltage will certainly void warrany.

But the retailers think that Overclocking (however it's done) void's warranty.

Hello "Wise old owl"

Thank you for responding so quickly, afraid I am really showing my lack of knowledge here but... On my manual for the mother board it says I must use 1.5 v as any more will ruin the board. Next, I see so many boards that say PCI Express whatever that means! But I am pretty sure my M/B will not take one.

When you say 2.5k or 3k to me being British that means 2 and a half thousand! Surely not pounds! Perhaps you (if you are allowed to say on here) could give me the name of some graphic board makes and then I can look them up on "google"? Once again, thank you for reading this!

XFX 6200 should be around 2.5k rs i.e ~35.5 pounds...and 6600LE..3k would be ~42 pounds....

just checked VIA's website you have a AGP 8X slot..

http://www.via.com.tw/en/products/chipsets/p4-series/p4m800/


For info "google" "XFX 6200 AGP 8X" or "XFX 6600LE AGP 8X"......go for 128MB mem coz these lowend cards can't make use of more memory..

Yup , as long as the OC is done in the driver level , it cannot be traced .. so there's no chance of any void warranties ..

I am going to buy a GFX card tomorrow. So tell me should I buy a 7900GS and overclock it or get myself 7950GT. I don't want ATI so pls don't suggest one. The price difference between 7900gs (256MB) and 7950GT (256MB) is around 4k.
Just suggest me which is better in terms of price to performance ratio and does 7950GT has huge margin of performance over 7900GS. I am in mood to buy any one of these cards but just don't want to shell out 4K extra for say 10% gain in performance. But if the difference is around 30-40% then I'll get myself 7950GT. So please suggest. Also I am not interested at getting a Series 8 card at this moment, maybe 1-2 years later.
Thanks.

XFX 7600GS PCI-E should cost about 6.5-7K I guess cos I got an AGP version of the same for 6.9K. I think you should be able to get 7600GT around your budget limit.

My system config is as follows
Processor : Intel P4 2.8GHz (511)
Mobo : Intel D101GGC
RAM : 512MB (DDR400) - Will upgrade to 1GB in a few days....

I am looking for a Graphics Card (PCI-e16x) for around 4-5k. Please suggest the best one. I am not too bothered about 1280x780 resolutions.. But a decent 800x600 resolution with arnd 30fps is quite good for me so that I can play NFS U2 and/or Carbon (Or am I asking for too much ??)

Thanks in advance.

I am planning to buy AGP Graphics card, my Mobo is Krypton C18G400 (Biostar M7NCG 400) & has AGP slot. This is 3 years old Mobo. Specs mention AGP 4X / 8X support

What I wish to know is

Are there any voltage / slot considerations w.r.t. AGP cards available today?

I have 14 Inch monitor supporting max refresh of 75 Hz, & typical stable view is 800x600….would this matter w.r.t. compatibility etc

Can anyone suggest a card within Rs 3000 and supporting pixel / vertex shredder etc. Most of the games don’t run on existing Geforce 4MX Onboard GPU.


Thanks,

20-12-2006, 02:08 PM
not shredders man.... whoa! u killed it lolzz..
vertex/pixel shaders...
well, im no pro in suggesting stuff, but i guess u could manage a 6200 or a radeon 9250 or even a 9550... cant be verry sure of the prices, but these are low-budget cards....
and no... theres no voltage considerations as such... nice cards have a power input, dumb cards like mine dont care about nuthn... hell.. they ddnt even put a fan on its heatsink...

which would be better (onboard solution)--> =>Nvidia based or =>ATi Based or =>Intel GMA X3000 based.

intel is DX10 compatible (can be upgraded to DX10 by firmware/driver update).

If suggest other, please tell which one with MODEL name & C2D support. but for time being i should be able use it with Intel P4 3.06GHz.

cant afford to get a new mobo cuz its gonna dent my agp budget... so im gonna go wid the cool agp for now... the next time i need sumthn better, i guess im gonna get a laptop... a lot cooler... theres an asus laptop wid a 7600 and 100gb hdd for arnd 70-80k, this cuzn's got it... totally awesome...

I don't know why but ATi has record of bringing low price graphics card as compared to nVidia.But in INDIA the price are mile high for ATi.I checked the price of SAPPHIRE X1900 GT on www.newegg.com (http://www.newegg.com) was $150 & SAPPHIRE X1800GTO is $120 iasked my dealer for the price 23000+tax for X1900GT .Its almost more than 3 times of the price of U.S price.If i order online & if they charge double the price for shipping then also it will be less expensive.

There is slight difference between X1950XTX & 7950GX2 in performance.7950 GX2 scores few more,but see X1950XTX is 512 MB & 7950GX2 is 1 GB.All is the matter of price.Pick that one which is low on price.

Even the GX2 is 512 MB. It may have 1 GB memory total, but each core can address only 512 MB.

he 7950GX2 is more like 2*512 than a single 1 GB card .. in terms of performance , with proper drivers , and game profiles .. the 7950GX2 is around 25-40% faster than the X1950XTX atleast ..

keith_j_snyder2
31-12-2006, 03:39 PM
GX2 consists of 2x512 MB cards stick together & X1950XTX is 512 MB.Theoretically speaking GX2 should give double performance than 1950XTX.But here is very less difference is there.IF GX2 sucks more power & is more expensive,then there is no reason to stick to it.If u get 5 FPS more on spending $150 more on it,i 'll say its worthless.Check links under:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102045
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150161

It is a possibility that u may find that Ati card are expensive in India but it is comparatively really cheap in U.S as compared to nVidia.

well can anyone please tell me the memory bandwidth of 7300GT and 7300GS.and why the later is cheaper than the former.

7300GT :
Memory Bandwidth (http://www.gpureview.com/memory-bandwidth-article-356.html):10.4 GB/sec

7300GS :
Memory Bandwidth (http://www.gpureview.com/memory-bandwidth-article-356.html):6.4 GB/sec

well, obviously, GT versions of all cards are more expensive... :P
and the 7300GT is a 128 bit card from what i know, so that makes it better than its GS counterpart... the 7300GT uses the G73 GPU as well, the same thats used in the 7600, but i dun think you can soft mod it to make it as good as the 7600 lolz...
im quite illiterate at modding newayz... :P

keith_j_snyder2
07-01-2007, 11:37 PM
Any card in these series works but remember BUY ONLY DDR3 RAM.There are few in X1600 series that have DDR2 Ram but beware about those,although they cost u less but they are crap...yep total.Also see the suffixes like X1800GTO,X1800XL,X1800XT,X1800XTX.XTX is the pioneer in the series.IF u loose ur pocket a little then go for X1900 series like X1900GTetc.But trust me X1900 is better than X1800.OR
U can go with nVidia & seek for 7600,7900.Same suffix system applies here.7900GS,7900GT,7900GTX etc.GTX is like kick A**!!!

Here a suggestion check LEADTEK 7900 GS.Its the best thing in ur budget!!!
Also try X1900 GT,it can do HDR+AA simultaneous.

BIOS on a graphics card? I could be way wrong but isn't it firmware?

Anyway, have you tried Nvidia's official site (www.nvidia.com)?

It is bios alright. Find the firmware here (http://www.mvktech.net/component/option,com_remository/Itemid,26/func,selectfolder/cat,4/) Rojakpot was the first place I checked for the bios and strangely it did not have any nvidia bios.

hello friends....

Please tell is there very big difference with 7300GS 256Mb and 7300GT 256MB with my system ( system configuration metioned earlier). IS there is big difference in Cards having shared ram and inbuilt ram....thanks

Your config is ok. u can get decent performance.
7300gt gives more performance bnecause of some onboard tweaks,but nothing too much.
Shared ram means it will share ram from the pc ram which in turn leaves less ram for computer.u have 512 ram if graphics takes 256 then u are left with 256mb for system work. which deteorates performance.

hi everyone...
i have a AMD 3500+ ASUS A8NE Mobo (decent overclocker n stable too)
1 GB RAM n 250 GB sata2 HDD with 128 Mb 6600GT......

I am quite satisfied with my 6600 GT but its just that i have got 12k extra so was thinking of upgrading it to 7900 GS ...
i just wanna know ... or should i wait for some Dx 10 cards....
Cos i play all the games (FEAR, Quake4 etc) at 1024 x 768 with decently cool graphics without any lags.... so i can definately wait for Dx 10 cards...

I'm sick of seeing so many graphics cards related threads. Now I have made a new thread. Now post all your GFX card related questions and queries in here. Whether it is price, whether it is which card to buy and whether it is nVidia or ATi, anything which includes graphics cards. And mods please make this thread this sticky. So that it stays on the top for everyone to see. This will make it easier to find the thread for graphics cards and also it will make it more neat.
i want card, should have 256 mb ram & directx 9.0c.
geforce 6serises GS.

Well , 8600GT's are just around the corner .. and should be priced around 12k's .. and performing like the 7900GS .. so i'd say - WAIT ..

thanks but i guess they wont be priced at around 12k because when 6600Gt or 7600GT etc were launched they were way higher than 12k...

secondly if we get shipped a card from US then will it work here with us(its just a doubt cos many US DVDs dont work on Indian Players) because i ahve a friend going to US and i have told him to get one 512 MB 7900GS XFX extreme which is priced at 199$ there..... so thats pretty cheap......

instead of getting 7300 GT with 512 MB try ur hands on something like 7600GS with 256 MB .... price difference will not be much but performance difference will be much....

i tried Vista RC1 on my comp.... n almost all new games...
they run fine on 6600 GT...

we cant just say that a newer tech is going to come so wait... that way i will never ever be able to buy something...
and as far as i think getting something shipped from US is difficult for normal ppl....
n when 6600GT n 7600 GT were launched they were sub 250$ cards not 150$ cards...

n pls tell if i get a card shipped then will it work fine here in India and what abt the warranty....
cos i m nt that rich and i save my pocket money to buy tech stuff....
so cant risk my money ...

The 8600GTS will be priced betweed 15K and 20K when it comes out but after 2 or 3 months , it will go down to around 15K or maybe evn less..........and this is the best sol. we can get.

I recently purchased a zebronics nvidia 6200 agp 256 mb card but since then my computer has started restarting after an interval of 2-3 hours during normal web usage and not gaming. I have also heard after purchasing this card that the 6200 overheats however mine shows a temperature of 48 and the shutdown threshold of 145 is this causing the problem.My psu is rated at 300 w and is maufactured by some adcom. Surprisingly the nvidia drivers which were provided with the card were not xp sp2 compliant.So I installed the 93.71 version of the nvidia drivers provided alongwith the Dec 2006 cd of digit.The following is a screenshot of the windows error message I get.

Hello, Newbie here,
I hope I am doing this right... I have ASRock P4VM800 Motherboard with an intergrated graphics (Chipset VIA S3G Unichrome Pro IGP) Intel P4 CPU and 1 Gb Memory.

I wanted to get ready for "Microsoft Vista" So I got this board from Ebay.
: inno3D FX-5500-AGP-DVI-TV-256MB.

I have downloaded and updated my chipset from Via with both hyperion and 4 in 1, plus I have tried disabling the chipset from the device manager. I then put in the graphics card and boot up. It boots up but I get a completely blank screen! It is as if the AGP card has stopped all signals to the monitor.
I have also tried with both types of updated chipsets all to no avail.
What I would really like please is some advice on how to disable my onboard grahics and enabling my graphics card to work. Any help would be gratefully appreciated! Thank you for reading this. Sincerely, Mike T :confused:

Its a decent card with good capabilities
It did fine on my friends comp (7300GT 256MB) running FEAR in 1024X768 with little tweaking on the advanced tab:D

Its a nice card but if u want a little more bang for buck , i suggest u get 7600 GS


Well if u want a quick and cheap fix till the 8 series arrives, this is the card to go for

Yeah SAM is right,underclocking may be harmful & besides that underclocking also leads to extra power consumption...sounds funny,right?But its true.Just keep it to stock & clean all the dust off & keep it at good airflow.

deathvirus_me
16-02-2007, 12:25 PM
Well , not always .. depends on how much u underclock .. a friend of mine had to underclock his 7900GTX to stop the artifacting problems :D ... from 670/1700 to 650/1600 ...

16-02-2007, 10:05 PM

LOL, get this..

A gfx card runs at a specific core Voltage and mem voltage..at stock clocks...If you throttle down the clocks the voltage remains the same thus causing damage..
I lost my memory module 'bcoz of the same reason..

I got a nVidia 5200 8x @ 1.5V rating and using Intel 845GBV motherboard with 2GHz processor & DDR 266Mhz 640MB RAM.
The AGP card is only running at 4x speed.
I want to upgrade my motherboard and add more RAM keeping my graphics card and processor same.
Is there a motherboard from any brand that will give 8x support for my AGP card with other things remaining the same?

Hurry pl coz I must spent the mony quick or itz gone.

@duron111
yes all PCIE cards cab be put on ur system, but u can't get the full perfomance out of it with ur system. According to ur current system config a 7600GT or new 8600 at max is enough.
8600 GS nd GT would be available in 3~4 months nd if u can wait go for it or settle for 7600GT or 7900GS.
