Well, get this,

I am baffled, my computer is making my frustrated. But I guess that is what computers do.

My comp display settings under "advanced" -> "Nvidia Props" it has Bus: AGP (PCI mode) Odd no?

And I checked my bothers comp, in the same spot (he has a geforce 3) his reads Bus: AGP 4X

So here it goes,

Win XP
512 MB Ram
Mobo as below
Video as below
o/b sound, but i use a Sblive card

I have the Msi 648F Neo (SiS 648FX Chipset) Motherboard -Link here- And the XfX GeForce Fx 5700 256 DDR Video Card AGP-Link Here-
Now when I do the math of Mobo w/ 8x AGP support and a Video Card with 8x AGP, AND the video card in the AGP Slot should things not work out by them selves? I have set the primary video in the bios as AGP but that did not a thing. I cant really find anything else in the bios that should enable the 8X AGP.

I am just asking you guys before I call one of these guys for tech support. Maybe its something REALLY stupid that I cannot see. Maybe they are not compatible hardware, I am going to look right now, thanks again guys,

Later.
