I am building a slight game computer for my little cousin. I used my old athlon 1800+ and asus A7N266-VM with onboard geforce 2 MX, I decided to add in an AGP card so that my cousin can game with this set up. I chose the chaintech geforce 6600 agp http://www.chaintechusa.com/tw/eng/product_spec.asp?MPSNo=14&PISNo=321
I install the geforce 6600 into the mb's agp 4x slot and it was working at first. I install the window xp pro and everything.I even installed the 3d mark 03 and ran a test on it. It only gets 3527, I think that is because I didn't install the agp driver and enable the agp 4x. Finally, I have to install the mb's agp driver. After I install the agp driver, the computer can boot and load window, but after that comes a blank screen, and the HD Led didn't work anymore, seem like system hang. I rebooted several times and it is the same. After that, I unplugg the geforce 6600 and I use the on board GF 2mx, and I can get into window again. I just want to know if the GF 6600 is defective or it really didn't like AGP 4x......................
