Its funny because I tried upgrading to a new GEFORCE 6800, and it wouldnt work because I lack the power supply.
So what I was using was the 128 AGP card, so when I took out the 6800 Card, my older AGP card doesnt seem to power the monitor.
It actually gives me a new hardware, SCSI detected.
I cant do anything after that.
It asks me for CD, but it never seems to load.
But my old 32 PCI works just fine.
I even tried having both of them together.
ONLY WHEN MONTIOR IS CONNECTED TO PCI will I get a display.
I went into BIOS to make sure the AGP was the defaulted port.
But still, nomatter what I do I cant seem to get it to revert back to the AGP CARd.
Anyone got any ideas?
They are all the same brand PNY -- so I thought the drivers would work for all of them.
It did when I installed.
But now that Im removing, and adding the older one, it doesnt seem to work!
help please|||go to the website for the 128 video card and download the drivers for it.
uninstall every video driver, saving the pci drivers as last to uninstall. now with ALL video drivers un-installed power down and put the 128 card in, windows should install generic drivers so windows will run, then run the new driver file you downloaded.
If that doesn't work, its possible you fried the 128 card or it just went bad. static shock will kill it.
good luck

Is the PNY Nvidia GeForce MX 440 64mb AGP video card good?
There's one on craigslist for 4 bucks. I don't play any games on the computer I'm putting it in- just basic stuff like youtubeing and yahoo answering; and maybe solitare. Thanks.|||That card is fine for what you are wanting to do with it, it beats onboard graphics, might even help your computer run faster than just using the onboard adapter.
Ryan|||It's old, but it should be able to play solitaire and render flash movies (probably not in high-def). Before buying this card, make sure your computer has an AGP slot. Usually computers 5-8 years ago came with AGP slots, and older computers have PCI slots. If your computer is relatively new (less than 3 years), it probably only has a PCI-express slot, so then you can't use the AGP.

Can I use a AGP 8X Video Card in a AGP 4x Motherboard?
My PC is a Pentium 3 with 512 RAM and a Intel 815EP Motherboard, which is AGP 4X (my video card is a Geforce 2 GTS 32MB). Can I use a AGP8x 128/256 MB with that PC?|||yes but it will only run at 4x not 8x|||no, u can not use agp 8x mode.|||Nope, but it works the other way aroud!|||I dont think you can. Try checking the motherboard manual or searching for you're motherboard online check the spicifications on it.|||Yes it will just run at the slower speed.
Is my computer compatible with BFG GeForce 7300 GT / 512MB DDR2 / AGP 8x video card?
my computer has:
Windows Xp pro 32 bit
intel celeron D cpu 3.46GHZ
memory: 512 ram
motherboard: MSI MS-7222
Power supply: 400 watt
Graphic card slot: Agp 8x
What worries me the most is the pwer supply. Do u think my 400 watt power supply can support this video card because someone on a forum said his video card can't work until he upgrade to 450 watt power supply while the minimun requirement on tigerdirect is 400 watt only.|||Blamay makes a good point. AGP no longer means Accelerated Graphics Port. It now means Aim for the Garbage Pile. If you MUST use AGP then the HD 4670 is the best one out there but having only half the bandwidth (and therefore speed) of even a PCI-Express v1.0 (and 1/4 of PCI-Express v2.0) even the Radeon HD 4670 won't cut it. And at the price of $110, you may as well set fire to your money. I'd recommend you get the following:

Is my BFG Asylum GeForce FX5200 256MB AGP video card Compatible with direct x 10?
i want direct x 10 my card is a BFG Asylum GeForce FX5200 256MB AGP i have windows xp pro sp2 120gb hard drive 512mb of ram im upgrading to 1gb i want dx 10 cause its sweet im a big gamer but havnt played on pc that much so i built this computer to game with please let me no if i can use direct x 10|||If you really want to play newer games, you should start considering a new graphics card. FX 5200 is pretty outdated (2003 era). Its clock rate is slow, has only 4 pixel shaders and 2 vertex shaders and supports Shader 2.0 and DX9.
Consider these DX10 cards that support Shader 4.0 and available in AGP format:
Cheap= ATI HD 2400 Pro or XT
Better= ATI HD 2600 Pro or XT|||Nope... DX9 only|||try downloading it, the trial version should be free|||well first FX5200 is direct X 9.0 it means you can't even get full hardware use in DX9 C . other thing there in nothing called DX 10 under Xp only some twiks , they say DX10 has some advantes over DX 9 although i have never found something serious .
Tell you the truth 5200Fx is shader 2.0 and even with that it can't be very good , i advise you to change to play some games
Good luck

Where does GeForce 6100 onboard rank versus actual video cards?
I am having trouble finding a benchmark list that includes 6100 and seperate video cards. Is it better than Fx 5500? FX 5200? Radeon 9550? Radeon 9200? Even though the core speed is much higher at 425 MHz I am betting it doesn't perform as well as an AGP card at 250/300 MHz.|||Nvidia 6100 only runs on 2 pixel pipelines. It sucks in 3D graphics. Fx5500 and ATI 9550 have 4 pixel pipelines and therefore perform better in games.|||Horrible. MAYBE 5200. Core speed means nothing unless you're compare the same core.|||Not really sure but AGP is slowly going away. Many motherboards come with PCI Express which offers much better speeds than AGP can offer.
Which of these AGP Video cards are better?
Now before you go saying PCI-E this and that, save your breath i know its alot better thats not what im getting at.
Im revamping an older custom built computer that was made back in 2004 and not sure which card to put into it. i searched around for the best AGP card you can get and i came across 2 different cards the:
ATI Radeon HD 4650 with 1Gb GDDR2 DRAM
And
Nvidia Geforce 7800 GS with 256MB GDDR3 of DRAM
to me the ATI card looks higher performance but in the video card category's i fall short handed
which one will be best gaming wise. and is there a AGP card better then these listed that i may have overlooked?
idk if this helps but this is my rig:
Intel Pentium 4 2.36Ghz=== Upgrading to a Pentium 4 HT Extreme Edition 3.4ghz
1GB ( 512 Mb x 2) DDR RAM 333 Mhz=== Upgrading to 2Gb (1GBx 2) 400Mhz

Check http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/rade… for a Hierarchy Chart. The higher up on the table the card, the better it is. Tom's ranked the HD 4650 one rung higher than the 7800 GS.
I don't know where you've looked, but the HD4670 is AGP as well. It is about 40 bucks more, but I think that is the best AGP chipset overall.|||ok AGP get the powercolor ATI Radeon AGP 1 gb DDR3 HD 4670 for about $109.00 That's what i got and it overloaded my CPU and i had to overclock the cpu to keep up
these are the last of the best AGP cards around see below|||the 1 gb will give better performance

Can i run windows 7 aero with the NVIDIA GEFORCE 4 MX4000 128MB AGP VIDEO CARD?
i might want to buy this card but not sure if it will run aero which is what i want?|||No, that video card is not built to run Aero. It's a video card from around 2002 that was built using hardware designed around 1999 and introduced in 2000.
You will need something a bit more modern, even if all you're trying to do is run Aero on an old computer. I would recommend the card below. Alternatively, any cheap nVidia 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, GT2, GT4 or ATI 9, X, X1, HD2, HD3, HD4, or HD5 series card you can find should do just fine.
I'm assuming by the fact that you posted the 4 MX card with the most RAM available at the time that you're not quite sure of what to look for in graphics cards. First, RAM doesn't matter nearly that much. A low-end graphics card (nVidia 6200, 7300, 8400, etc.) gains almost nothing when you pile on RAM. There was, for a time, a 512MB GeForce 6200 on sale, and people purchased it over much better and more expensive graphics cards because they figured the RAM was all that mattered - they basically got suckered into spending $80 for a graphics card that was no faster than the $25 version.
Also, since your computer is unable to run Aero as-is, you might want to consider getting a new one altogether. Spending even $50 to upgrade a computer to display the Aero Glass effects isn't a great value compared to spending the $200-400 getting a new one.|||That is a pretty old graphic card. I'm not 100% sure but I am leaning more along the lines of no for that card supporting aero fully. You might be able to get a preview of the applications running when you mouse over but the live preview and aero peek functions probably won't work.
But don't quote me on that.|||, the better the card the better the aero effect, i would recommend a 512mb video card or higher
for example a geforce 7300 gt 512mb agp video card , tigerdirect.com|||this card will not do a thing for your computer
u need fx cards if you support agp graphics slot - i suggest the 7600GT

How good is the AGP video card Nvidia geForce 5500 fx?
i found an nvidia geforce 5500 fx and i was wondering what kind of games can u play with that. Im using windows seven and have an intel pentium 4 2.66 with 1.25 gb ram in a 32 bit operating system.|||The card is a bit dated. Most new games will have trouble running efficiently with that card. Also, seeing as you are running Win 7, I can make an educated guess that your motherboard doesn't even support AGP. It is more than likely has a PCI-E slot for graphics card expansion.|||i have one exactly like that and those are the things i tested: GTA-SA runs good, Half Life 2 runs great too, older DX based 3d games like Quake 3, Unreal tournament 2003 and 2006 also performed reasonably well. Then again, i have less RAM, but a better processor so i guess it's about the same. If you can, you should go with a Radeon instead.|||I'm sorry to say that geforce 5500 is already obsolete. Games that you can play are games that are made up to 2002. I know I have that exact graphic card.

I had two GeForce FX 5500 / 256MB DDR / Video Cards on my PC. A PCI and an AGP. The AGP died. What happened?
I wasn't overclocked, fans were clean. Using Win Xp, P4@1.8g on socket 478 ECS MB, a generic soundblaster from Walmart as were the 2 vid cards. Linksys wireless nic. I just get vertcal lines from the AGP at boot. I cannot get into Windows with the AGP onboard using PCI as default display. a hot spot developes on the AGP card when I try this. I don't have another machine to test the card on in case it is the MB causing the problem. I did have a different monitor on the AGP as I have no web access at home and go to a friends house every month or so to update. When I got home 6/8/2006 the AGP would not work. No extreme vibration during trip, no moisture, inspection revealed no loose cards or cables. I never updated bios or drivers. Forceware 7700 I think. I swapped cards in and out between just the 2 listed, changed bios settings for the cards, nothing worked. It would be nice to get the card working but am more concerned with what happened as I plan to use dual monitors again.|||It sounds like your video card must have died. It's most likely time to get a better video card, so check newegg.com for a newer agp video card, as they have a great selection of cards with lots of different price ranges.|||you could read your mother boards help book at first|||The only thing coming to mind on this one, is that the OS picked one of the two as a primary, and kicked out all the drivers for the other one. Try it in a different machine, if you have another one to use, this will save on tech time, and fees at a shop.|||Get a new motherboard, they are under $50 for that socket.

What video cards are compatible with the Dell Optiplex GX280?
I want to play the Sims 3, and need a better video card. I had a Nvidia Geforce 6200 AGP, but it appears that I need something PCI. I want to find the best compatible video card for around $50. I'm thinking of the Nvidia Geforce 8400, but am not sure it is compatible. Any suggestions? Thanks!|||Well, you've got a couple of problems.
First off, is your Optiplex GX280 one of those slimline models? If so, you can only use low-profile cards, which limits your choices.
Second, the old PCI interface (not PCI Express) is horribly slow. Your AGP GeForce 6200 would be much faster than a PCI version of the GeForce 8400. If your computer has an AGP slot, that's the type of card you'll want. But the specs I can find on the GX280 say it's got a PCI-Express slot instead of AGP- that's good news!

So I'm assuming your computer with the AGP GeForce 6200 was a completely different machine, and you're looking to upgrade this Dell now?
The best card in your price range- the Radeon 4650:

It performs better than a GeForce 8400GS or 9400GT, comes with brackets to fit either slim or regular sized cases. Assuming your system has a PCI-Express x16 slot, that's the one to get.
Good luck!

Video cards: GeForce 8400 GS + Dimension 4500?!?
I have a Dell Dimension 4500 with an AGP slot and 4 PCI slots. I just bought a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS video card at Best Buy today for around 80 bucks. But I really don't know if this card is compatible. Apparently it has a separate fan, which may cause me problems?
Anyone have any clue whether or not these two are compatible?
(All this trouble just to play The Sims 3...lol.)|||Two things..
The 8400GS comes in two different versions: PCIExpress and PCI. The PCIExpress version will NOT work in your system. PCIExpress and PCI are completely different things and utterly incompatible with each other, despite the similarity in name.
If you bought the PCI 8400GS, you just bought a piece of garbage. PCI graphics cards all suck because they are bottlenecked by the PCI bus's 33mHz data transfer speed. It will be SLOWER than your Dimension's onboard graphics.
You should have gone for a high-end AGP card like an ATI HD3850 AGP.|||They should be compatible as long as you got the AGP version and not the PCI Express version. PCI and PCI Express are not the same thing and are not interchangable.
There are also different versions of AGP. If the card doesn't fit easily into the slot, it may not be compatible with the AGP slot on your computer's motherboard.|||$80 r u kidding me?
