Just bought an diamond radeon hd 4650 (agp) card for my aged pentium 4 system with an Nvidia 64mb 2x/4x agp card. When installed I could not get any video through the card??I replaced the 350w power supply to a 500w power supply per recomendation, same results. Reinstalled old graphics card and works fine. Would like to squeeze out a few more years on this Desktop. Had similar results a year ago with a different video card. Would rather not spend another $40 to have someone install for me, like to learn as i go. Any help, Ideas would be appreciated

You are right on both fronts. It's working but, did'nt get the desired results. Did some research but not sure that "overclocking" will get me there either. Guess I should research a rebuild. Motherboard, cpu, memory, graphics card??Something relatively cheap that will handle HD, possbily blue ray down the line. Made the move to "Free" Tv just putting together a system for entertainment on the 50" 1080P, Any reccomendations??Or advice on overclocking my p4? I know my systems old but if I can get it to spit out HD I'm good.
