Ok, I purchased an new GF3 card, and was having some problems with getting it to run some 3d applications. Well, I emailed the cards manufacturer about it, and they sent me an email. The info they gave me in that email was awsome. They even recommended a diagonsitic utility that just kicks arse over anything I have seen to date, and guess what, its free.
quote:
Please use the diagnostic utility called SiSoft Sandra to see if
your motherboard is AGP 2.0 or 1.0. You can download this program from www.download.com by typing a search for the program in their search engine.
Once the program is installed on your system, go to Mainboard Information,
then scroll down to AGP Bus, and the Version will be there. If it is not 2.0
compliant, then this video card will probably not function correctly as it
follows the AGP 2.0 standard. This is not the same as AGP 1x, 2x, or 4x as
these are bandwidths, not standards.
Download it, and check it out. I think you will enjoy what it can do for you.
