Yeah, but I found the issue with my graphics card was; it didnt want to work unless directx9.0c was installed. The AGP x2, x4, x8 were not recognised etc. until then. Very strange indeed but I hope this helps others in similar situation. Buy that new graphics card and don't worry about it not working now

well now thats its fixed thats good but im an expat so my dad makes alot (wont say) and i would think 3 times b4 gettin a new gfx card like that but it seems to have worked and there have been some issues with alot of new games and the nvidia cards

Hate to be the one to tell you this mate, but you keep thinking then

cause the 9600XT and GeforceFX5800 cards have their own fair share of problems, particularly in their polygon generating capabilities

If you're happy enough to have an inferior card and dont want to play games on the maximum settings, that's up to you. You're obviously not a hardcore gamer.

Pity, the rest of your machine looks okay

Now go ask daddy for some money for a real graphics card

u dont have to be insulting im just stating that u spent alot of money on them but it was worth it it looks and no i dont care about having gfx on max
i do in PS and it works fine with about 25-80 fps (25 in large battles) and my 9600 has never given me problems cept a bit of lagged game play in Doom 3 or UT2004
and when the times comes yah ill probably buy a x800XT or something but they just came out so they r a little expensive so ill get the next one that comes out which should be the same price but will be better such as in memory and core processor clocking speed (x800XT is about 400 mhz and 900 mhz) and my 9600 will be becoming very obsolete
