Update: Got stuff working. Got the screenshots. Thanks much.
Before you post in this, have the following components:
ASUS TUA266 Motherboard
Win2k Pro or Server
NVIDIA brand video card
What I need:
1. Is your setup stable? (do you experience lockups in games, blah blah blah)
2. If your system is stable, take a screen shot of your "System Devices" under "Device Manager" and post it.
3. What driver versions are you using as well (ALi drivers + video card drivers)?
4. Under the NVIDIA display panel, where it says "Display Adapter Information" (it's the place with the spinning NVIDIA logo), does it say "Bus Type: AGP"? If it says "Bus Type: AGP (PCI mode)" or anything other than "Bus Type: AGP", forget it.
Why?
I have yet to get my system running stable without disabling AGP support. Which completely sucks because it kinda makes having an AGP4x capable card worthless if I can't take advantage of a single AGP feature (high bandwidth, special and faster instructions, blah blah blah).
Thanks for your time.
Btw, let me restate NOT to post in this unless you're giving me a screenshot of what I have requested. I really don't feel like being told by 30 people different things I can do to troubleshoot this issue. Trust me, I've been there, done that, didn't work. I KNOW it's an issue in the system devices area. So if I can see what someone with a stable setup has, I can mimic what they have and theoretically, have a stable system as well.
I don't mean to be an *** or anything, it's just that I've lived with this problem long enough and am sick of running my **** in PCI mode. So yeah.
Actually, if you know of this problem, and know how to fix it, go right ahead and tell me. Don't guess what you think my problem is though and try to sugest something you're not sure will work. I'm done playing around with this and just want a solution.
