[masterofinsanity]

ok i'm way out of touch with pcs at the mo, been a long time since i messed with em.I currently have a Radeon 9600 AGP 256mb card in my pc and have just purchased off ebay a Radeon x1600 AGP 512mb card which i'm looking forward to receiving shortly, now someone please tell me i've done the right thing and i will see an improvement???

That completely depends on what your other specs are, so if you could post them we could do a guess

Hmm yes I guess you will see an increase in performance then Your CPU will probably be your next bottleneck though.

don't think there is any other way i can upgrade what i have at the mo so guess i best start saving for a new mobo bundle.

got my x1600 pro card yesterday so naturally it went straight in, does it matter wether i use the vga port or the dvi port with a vga adaptor? also what should the agp aperture size be set to in the bios?

 

[Rastalovich]

The aperture size is only important if ur gfx card has less than 256m on it. If it has more, u can select the minimum allowable.

As far as the vga connector is concerned, if u r using a vga cable, use the vga socket. Don`t think there's any difference really, but it'll help not having an extra chunk of plastic sticking out the back

lol suppose so, didn't know wether you got a better signal from the dvi port? thanks!
