My PC Died today and I'm moving to AMD.

I require an AGP based motherboard because of my new AGP 6800GT.

I NEED TO PLAY MY GAMES!!! :laugh:

I was looking @ Socket 939 and wasn't sure what I can get in the AGP dept...

I welcome as much help as you guys can give me...

Thx..

why are you stuck with going AGP?

cuz i just spend 284.00 on a new AGP Video card.. I can't replace it.. I just bought it and I don't think I have the cash to buy another video card (PCI-E) :cry:

Even if I sell it I doubt I can get the same one in PCI-Express.

You may have already tried this, but...

1. Turn off and unplug your computer.

2. Remove CMOS battery for about a minute or two.

3. Pop the battery back in, plug the computer back in, and hit the power button.

Make sure it's off and unplugged when pulling the battery as the whole point of this is to remove all power sources from the BIOS so it resets to default parameters.

I've actually had 2 different computers (one an old ASUS CUSL-2BP and a Gigabyte GA-7NNXP) that looked dead upon booting up after a particularly nasty lightning storm here. This fixed the problem on both. It's worth a try...

Perhaps you could return it and say you made a mistake and needed the PCI-E card? That is if you want to go to PCI-E now if its possible.

Wow steven, that sucks. All i can suggest IS to go ahead and try whats already been mentioned. Also, this may seem dumb BUT it helped me and my mates, go ahead and rip apart the pc. and put it back. it may seem stupid, but it helped me MANY times and so forth....... so leemmmeee know asap aite mate

i'm gonna push this Intel system to the side and just take it apart and rebuild an AMD system with my AGP Video Card, Neopower and my Corsair RAM.

So Go ahead and "Show me the money" (parts) ;)

I MUST PLAY MY GAMES!!!!!!!!!!

America's Army Lives in me!!!!!! :D

The Neo2 Platinum will work with the Athlon 64 X2, as MSI's page describes here:

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core (Manchester, 90nm, L2 Cache 2 x 512KB)

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4200+ (E4 version)  OK

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4600+ (E4 version)  OK

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core (Toledo, 90nm, L2 Cache 2 x 1MB)

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4400+ (E6 version)  OK

Athlon 64 X2 Dual-Core 4800+ (E6 version)  OK

The Asus board you posted will not work with the X2 since it is a 754 board (at least according to NewEgg's Specs). I am sure you already realized this, but I wanted to clarify.

no need for dual core if you are just going to be playing games, just putting that out there  :cool:

Thats cool I understand but if the price is right.. I'm all over it. :D

oh the budget for this upgrade is..

$500.00 USD

I ask for you help and deploy all of your services! :cool:

Mobo, CPU. (I have plenty of RAM already).

I could use a couple new Hard Drives and a Plextor 16X SATA Burner...

Everything else I already have as you can see in my sig..

I'd liek the CPU to be at least 3200+. I already i'm at 3.2GHz. So I know AMD has lower frequencies but I want to use the "32" as a starting point.

Even if the battery is the problem..

I found this motherboard:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?...N82E16813130468

Will it work with the Latest Athlon X2 CPUs?  :unsure:

586239643[/snapback]

This motherboard is awesome, and I believe yes it would work with the X2.

dL

MSI K8N NEO2 PLATINUM Socket 939 NVIDIA nForce3 Ultra ATX AMD Motherboard - $118.00

AMD Athlon 64 3800+ Venice Integrated into Chip FSB 512KB L2 Cache Socket 939 Processor - $367.00

Sorted for life :D

    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A new driver is rolling out to Radeon graphics hardware owners, and alongside support for new games, AMD has just made its FSR 4.1 upscaling tech available to an entire generation of its products. Last month, AMD announced it is answering community requests to bring FSR 4.1 to past generations of its Radeon graphics cards. This would be starting with RDNA 3 RX 7000 products. Right on schedule, this is what's rolling out now with the AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver containing official support for over 300 games. Following this, AMD is planning to bring out RDNA 2 (RX 6000 series) support for FSR 4.1 sometime in early 2027. As for the games, this Adrenalin 26.6.2 driver is a recommended install for anyone jumping into Ubisoft's upcoming Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced remake or id Software's DOOM: The Dark Ages' Revelations expansion. The two fixed issues in this release are these: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing RoadCraft on Radeon™ RX 7000 series products. Purple screen may be displayed when using an HP Reverb G2 headset with SteamVR on Radeon™ RX 6000 series graphics products. The known issues AMD is still working on are the following: Intermittent application crash or driver timeout may be observed while playing Battlefield 6 on AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370. AMD is actively working on a resolution with the developer to be released as soon as possible. Texture flickering or corruption may appear while playing Battlefield 6 with AMD Record and Stream on some AMD graphics products. AMD FSR Upscaling and AMD FSR Frame Generation may show as inactive in AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition while playing Battlefield 6 when enabled on Radeon™ RX 9000 series graphics products. Failure to install may be observed while installing AI Bundle components in some regions with limited access to HuggingFace and GitHub. Model flickering or rendering failure may be observed in Maxon Cinema 4D and Blender on Radeon RX 7000 series and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. Intermittent application crash may be observed on some models while running Blender on Radeon RX 7000 and above graphics products. Users experiencing this issue are recommended to install AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.3.1. The newly released AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.2 driver is now available for download from the AMD Software app. Find the official changelog here.
