Motherboard/Graphics Card

[awelsh]

Heres the deal, after looking for ages for drivers for my Graphics card (ATI Radeon 2400HD 512MB GDDR2 64-Bit AGP) it looks to me asif the motherboard cannot be used with the card :(

Ive read on the side of the box in the small print (AGP 8X Compliant Motherboard)

And on CPU-Z it shows my motherboard as being AGP 4X :(

How much would it roughly cost me to get a new motherboard for the PC?

Thanks

I want one that supports AGP 8x, Pentium 4 processor, 1 HDD, 2 dvd drives, floppy drive, and anything else etc :P

I can't find any with AGP, only PCI-E. Your gonna have to check ebay for some second hand ones.

Same here, but I had a look on google and theres been multiple posts saying that all 8x cards work with 4x MOBO's anyway :S

Mine was working before but would them go unresponsive when loading a game.

So im guessing that im the unlucky one with a MOBO than doesnt do this? :P

More info:

I have looked online and the card states that is it AGP 4X/8X bus interface compatible.

So it must work with 4x MOBO's :) ill have to go to a local place and see if they can get it installed correctly, if not then its off to pc world -.-

If you have tried re-installing the drivers, I would say that it's a faulty card.
