AGP Card Problem (nVidia MX 4000 128MB)

http://www.asrock.com/MB/overview.asp?Model=P4i45GV%20R5.0

Any of them Shubham.

If we are to discern by a few known statements;

1) It is believed in some 'geek communities', that using the same manufacturer of motherboard chipset, and graphics chipset; to be a good thing.

For example an AMD motherboard chipset 'plays well' with an AMD ATI graphics chipset;

Nvidia motherboard chipset 'plays well' with Nvidia graphics chipset.

Intel motherboard chipset with Intel graphics..............no wait,....... there is no Intel graphics chipset, unless it is -> Integrated Graphics.
[ Intel GMA ]

(Integrated Graphics is also said as OnBoard graphics. ON the motherBOARD)

2) DOES NOT MATTER what graphics memory type is used.

Motherboard can use DDR Sdram ram memory, and graphics card can use GDDR5.

Why?
Because the graphics card has it's own Processor, and Ram Memory.

Graphics Processing Unit, or GPU; is the Processor,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPU

Graphics memory is the ram memory.

Operates independent of the system resources.
Processor, and Ram Memory.

The graphics expansion slot on the P4I45GV (P4 i 45GV), is an AGP slot.
Accelerated Graphics Port,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AGP

It will use an AGP 4X, or AGP 8X graphics card.
Use an AGP 8X.

REMEMBER;

1) ALWAYS follow Anti-Static Precautions.

2) INSTALL the software for the graphics card F-I-R-S-T,
(Drivers and 'control panel')

THEN unplug the computer from power, follow Anti-Static Precautions, and Physically plug the graphics card into the motherboard, and install.

3) [email protected]@k at the system requirements (Minimum) for the graphics card.
Specifically the Power Supply requirements. You need a Power Supply with enough Wattage, to handle the graphics card.

[ Handles the graphics card, and -> Motherboard, Processor, Ram Memory, and peripherals; Internal and External.
{Harddrive/s, optical drive/s; Internal
Mouse, Keyboard, external harddrive, etc; External ]

Yes. Up to 2GB officially, 4GB unofficially.

first check if your computer answers the following requirements:

Windows® XP/Vista

Minimum Requirements:

• Pentium® 1.7 GHz or similar processor
• 512 MB RAM
• DirectX® Compatible Video Card
• 128 MB Video RAM
• DirectX® 9.0c
• 2 GB Hard Drive Space
• Mouse

Recommended Requirements:

• Pentium® IV 2 GHz or similar processor
• 512 MB RAM
• 3D Video Card with at least 256 MB Video RAM
• DirectX® 9.0c
• 2 GB Hard Drive Space
• Mouse

if you do, please tell me exactly what happens when you try to install the game

Yes you can install 2 512 mb RAM for 1Gb in motherboard.But make sure both 512 RAM are same in configuration and frequency it is better you purchase both ram of same company.Then it works.
Let me know if you need further assistance.
Thanks for using FixYa.

Your existing CPU will not work with that motherboard. The AM2+/AM2 processor slot is for AMD processors only. For this motherboard, you will need one of the following processors: Phenom FX / Phenom / Athlon 64 FX / Athlon 64 X2

there is an agp card for 512 but that is high as agp goes you will spend anywhere from $100.00 to $400.00 for the card depends on frame rate pixel pipelines stc

I like evga, msi, mid price range but good warranty

An AGP video card would provide a better video performance than a PCI video card.

Yes, your GeForce is compatible with the BRIOs AGP 2X port. And there is no problem in using an 8X board in a 4X or 2X AGP slotted motherboard... it would only be a problem if you have a 1X AGP port which is rather old (fisrt agp ports on the market).

U have to find the motherbord's manual !!!! U will find there all u need. But most probably u won;t be able to put those processors (the speed diferences are too big, even if they are of the same slot type)

Fiend your solution direct from intel. Here is your solution........
