I have a PCCHIPS M810DLU motherboard with on-board graphics. I put a video board in a PCI slot but the system will not recognize it. There is a setting in BIOS for video. The choice is AGP or PCI. There is no AGP slot on this motherboard. It was already set to PCI. How can I get the external video to work? Thanks!

You have received some wrong information.
This motherboard has a PCI-e x16 slot(ver1.0), two PCI-X 66MHz, and two PCI 33MHZ slots..
The video card must go in the PCI-e x16 slot.
The x8 lanes are hardwired from the Tumwater chipset to the BCM5721 LAN chip, and are not accessible for use.
There is no x8 lane slot on this motherboard.

you can use 2.0 as its backwards compatible you wont get the same thorough put (speed from the 2.0 specification) but you will be fine. hope this helps

I'm not sure what the issue is, but here's the website where you can find the specs, documentation and drivers: http://www.xiew.com/product-detail/pcchips/m810dlu/

All the drivers for you're board are listed at PCChips web site. Click on the link provided; (M810DLU).

It's hard to answer this without knowing what game you're playing but if I get the information off the net right your computer is incapable of running any of the new games. It's slow, not much ram and poor video capabilities. A lot of the new games require 2 gigs of ram, a 750 meg video card and at least 2.4 megahertz of power to run excellent. What I see of that motherboard you posted under it's only capable of 1.2 megahertz and probably very little ram and an ancient PCI style video card which is about 8 years back in technology.

Hi there.
Seeing as the graphics on that board are integrated Intel Extreme Graphics and the board does not have PCI Express or AGP slots then you can use one of the 3 PCI expansion slots to install a video card.
The largest PCI graphics card I've seen is a 512MB card and that was not cheap as the latest video slots are PCI Express.
It will however free up essential system memory which is always a good thing.

The manufacturer ( PCChips ) has all downloads including manuals that might be needed to identify your possibilities on that motherboard.
PCChips motherboards are on the low end of the spectrum when it comes to value but they do the job just as you indicated. I've have used several of them over the years. I see that it has an onboard CPU.
I don't see a picture of the motherboard so I can't say one way or the other if you can add a video card to the system, but I will say this. If you can't add a video card through an AGP slot ( best choice ) or through a PCI slot ( second choice ), I would be surprised.
Sorry I couldn't say more but without hands on, it would be difficult to add truthful information.

Hi rovin,
So you bought an XFX GeForce 256MB video card. You're board has 1 free AGP 8x video slot & 3 PCI (White opened slots).
You mention there is not slot for the new card. (What type of video card did you buy)? PCI-E, AGP or PCI?
The only slot you're board does not have is a PCI-Express.
Look in you're manual on page 1-7 for the location of the AGP video card slot.
If you bought the wrong card, exchange it for an AGP 8x or PCI.
The ASUS P5PE-VM uses a integrated Intel® 865G chipset with integrated Intel® Extreme Graphics 2 Technology, which uses you're system memory to function.
If you need a manual you can download it from Asus. Click on the link to open to the P5PE-VM download site.

I hope you find this helpful.

It looks like your trying to install a PCI Graphics Adapter. If that is the case, I would try the PCI Graphics Adapter any Slot other than Slot 1 or Slot 2. That is unless, your PCI Graphics Adapter Card is a PCI Express, then that must be installed in Slot 1, if the Board supports it. If the PCI Graphics Adapter is a PCI-I Card then it must be installed in Slot 2.

Check AMD's site, they have or already implemented standards on their support chips. The standard, as I understand it, is Slot 1 - PCI Express, Slot 2 - PCI-I, if you're using those Slot for PCI Graphics Adapter.

It should be possible to use those Slots (1 & 2) for any PCI Cards that is not a PCI Graphics Adapter, be careful, I have not checked that out. Those do not handshake as Video Adapter, so the PCI card should not be thrown or overdriven, the PCI-Express and PCI-I, to my knowledge is only for Grahpics Adapters, should that be different, then Slot 1 for only PCI Express Cards and Slot 2 for only PCI-I Cards.

Me, for now, Slot 1 for Express, Slot 2 for PCI-I, and the rest of the Slot for all else. If your PCI Graphics Adapter is not an Express or PCI-I, install in any Slot other than Slot 1 or Slot 2.
