I have a Dell 4600i bios ver. A06 with 1.5 GB ram and an 8X AGP slot. I bought a XFX ATI Radeon 4650 AGP 8X vid card. I can't make it work right. I had to re-install my operating sys(Window XP PRO) 5 times before I could even make it not sp0ntaneosly reboot after I installed the ATI Drivers. I finally installed an old version of the Catalyst driver set and it does power up and windows comes up, but I am using a old 20 Nec CRT display - a Very good one in its day - and I can't set the refresh rate above 60Khz even though the CCC driver control panel tells me its at 85 or even 120 or whatever I set it at it still runs a only 60Khz refresh rate and the card isn't Really working correctly. My bench marks are slower by Far than the old PCI Nvidia 8400GS 512MB that I had in it. If I could Only diable the onboard video controller I think it would work okay, because I Know that there is a memory conflict between the AGP ATI and the Intel onboard graphics controller.
Can ANYONE help me..?
Thank You.
