| 102227 | 2002-11-29 23:06:00 | I'm looking to buy a new graphics card and have my eye on a Geforce 4, 64MB DDR with tv in/out. I have an Athlon 500 processor, 320MB RAM - anybody know if the card will run all right on an Athlon 500? Would things be resolved if I got a Geforce 2? | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 102228 | 2002-12-01 20:52:00 | Ah, the real question is: Will the graphics card work correctly with my motherboard? Which leads to the question... Who is the maker and what is the model of your motherboard? |

| 102229 | 2002-12-01 21:14:00 | Do you have a 4x AGP slot and what sort of graphics card are you running at the moment ? the 500 is a fairly old cpu slot 1 ?and you really will be wasting your money if you buy anytyhing too expensive for gaming |

| 102230 | 2002-12-02 04:49:00 | The Mainboard is an FIC SD11 motherboard, with the AMD-751 chipset. The AGP slot is AGP 1.0, 32-bit AGP bus 66/133 mhz that's all taken from the motherboard manual. What next? |

| 102231 | 2002-12-02 04:53:00 | No, the AGP is only 1.0. I'm currently running an s3 Trio 3d/2x, and it sucks big time. When I bought it with my system it seemed alright, particularly compared with my even older system. WinXP only recognises it as a 4mb card, when WIn98 recognised it as an 8mb card (which it is). I may be upgrading the motherboard/processor in a few months time. If a Geforce 4 MX460 will work alright with this system (even if its not great, then I can get it and upgrade the system to take advantage later. But no point buying now if I can't use it till I upgrade... | Lizard (2409) | ||
| 102232 | 2002-12-02 08:03:00 | see the faqs (www.fic.com.tw) Q14: When I use S3 Savage 4 Pro with the FIC mainboard, the display card gets hot in a short time, and then the system crashes. I can use windows, run other programs, but after a while the system crashes so, what should we do? Is there any solution to work S3 Savage4 Pro with the SD11 Mainboard and AMD-K7-650? (mail from Cyprus) 7/4/2000 A: Do not use any 32MB on board AGP devices since they draw more current than the SD11 can handle. It was designed for AGP 1.0 spec. (2A 3.3V), but most 32MB on board AGP are compliant with AGP 2.0 (6A , 3.3V). The S3 Savage 4 Pro, ASUS V6800, TNT2 Ultra and GeForce 256 all fail to work with the SD11. |
