Please tell me what you need more from Everest report thanksYou can install any AGP videocard, however, the motherboard only seems capable of AGP 4x. An AGP 8X card should be backwards compatible with 4X so that's not a problem, you just won't get the full performance benefit of 8x AGP.Quote You can install any AGP videocard, however, the motherboard only seems capable of AGP 4x. so meaning better i only install AGP 4X? correct me if im wrong.... one more thing, i dont understand AGP 4x (sorry im noob in this thing) any other name?The videocard you can install is called AGP videocard. The 4x and 8x indicate the speed of the AGP slot. You have an 4x AGP slot, but you can install an 8x AGP videocard because the videocard will match the speed of the slot. 4x CARDS are no longer for sale, you can still obtain an 8x card, though. Just don't spend too much on it. Even the cheapest AGP card you can find will be a good improvement over what you currently have.Quote The videocard you can install is called AGP videocard. BOOM Thanks for that info. (another bread for me) Quote I would never consider buying used RAM, but that's just me... How many RAM slots you got and what type does it take? Ive got about 1 Gb of 256's sitting aroudn ym house form modding my computers... I also got two GeForce 6200 OC's sitting around... If you want the Ram let me know your specs and ill see if its compatible... If it is ill have you send me an envelope with some extra stamps in it and ill send you the ram for free... its not doing me any good by collecting dust. Also Ill be willing to sell you the one of the 6200 OC's for about... say 50$? BTW, its got 256mb RAM in it, not the 128's which GO for about 30$. Send me a PM if interested.Quote QuoteI would never consider buying used RAM, but that's just me... We're not friggin' Ebay and I wouldn't quite trust the likes of you.Quote QuoteQuoteI would never consider buying used RAM, but that's just me... First, Thanks Lil_Falco for your offered actually i like it but its so hard to get that (im from Philippines) LAST thing, i have no luck for the new rAM pc266 (this kind of ram is so hard to look/find) i tried all the pc shops/store here in our place but i have no luck so i fall down in tipidpc.com (sorry im not advertising) more or less its like a ebay but locally only today i received the 2nd hand ram and i will try it when i get in my house this evening (hopefully all will be fine tomorrow i will let you know guys Thanks for all........ Quote Last thing, i have no luck for the new rAM pc266 (this kind of ram is so hard to look/find) You can install PC3200 RAM which will revert back to PC266. Unless your manual specifically states you can't.Quote What i want to know is... so i installed the 2nd hand ram 512 poor, it did not change anything in my games (C&C generals) maybe there is, but i did not noticed coz of my curiosity, i found out that i have only 8mb video card and i ask some other people they said i need to upgrade it to 128mb video card i need again to save some bucks ($36 for the new one) or maybe i will look for a 2nd hand again thanks for all your effort i really learn from this thread No problem, come back when you have more questions. |
