Idk much about AGP. but is ur card only AGP 1.0? What os u using and 32bit or 64bit. Also how much system ram do u have installed already?

that or he thinks it should be faster than it is which is lulz worthy

uhhh well i got GPUz and it tells you specs of your grafix card and it says AGP4x @ pci but its an AGP Card


and also when i open the nvidia tool bar and play with the settings it click on system info and it says the same thing


ive gone to bios settings that doesent help but when i try to put the main display option on AGP/onboard then it doesnt work only the onboard video is workin

check the model of you mobo, do some googling to if you can find someone with your same problem, also check the page of the manufactorer if you can find some info, and thats weird an agp card with less memory. That will maybe a defective chip.
