Is this card(Radeon 9800) compatible this mobo? halp

sup guy

I have question ;p

I have an AMD Athlon XP, 1400 MHz (5.25 x 267) 1600+
AGP version 2.00
AGP aperture Size 64 MB
Supported AGP Speeds 1x,2x4x
Current AGP Speed 4x

Chaintech 7AJA2(E)
Bus type DEC Alpha EV6
Bus Width 64-bit
Real Clock 133 MHz (DDR)
Effective Clock 267 MHz
Bandwidth 2133 MB/s
Form Factor ATX
Motherboard Chipset KT133A

L1 code Cache 64kb
L1 Data Cache 64 kb
L2 Cache 256 KB (On-Die, Full-Speed)

Core Voltage 1.75

But the ATI Radeon 9800 128 MB DDR AGP 8x N Pro video card I gonna try install require Athlon® XP with AGP 8X (0.8v), 4X (1.5V) or Universal AGP 3.0 bus configuration (8X/4X).

Will my mobo support that card? Do I have to download any mobo driver to make it compatible with that radeon 9800 video card?

thz



p.s any recommendation on which mobo should I upgrade to to get the full benefit of that radeon 9800 video card? =)

Which mobo do you have?

 

[Hodsocks]

Check you have the latest drivers for your mobo, ie. if Via chipset download the latest 4 in 1.
The 9800 will work with AGP2x,4x and 8x but will give best performance with 8x, altho it is fair to say that there is little difference in practice between 4x and 8x.

[agissi]

I dont see why it wouldnt work Go ahead and grab one, should fly like a breeze.

It will just run at 4x AGP instead of 8x (wont make a diff in performace).

 

[Condor]

Ah that make my day, thx

 

[Hodsocks]

Yeh, download the 4 in 1 drivers from the viaarena site, the v4.49 are the latest Hyperion drivers.

I hear the asus a7n8x deluxe is a totally sweet motherboard. you can get one for around $120.

There is a regular version of that board and the deluxe. The deluxe has more features, including dual channel DDR, which is supposedly sweet.

Sweet~!


Saving some $ for that mobo now.

 

[Dantrag]

yeah the a7n8x is a sweet mobo

 

[Steg]

the A7N8X outperforms EVERY other Althon XP board - both in terms of performance and features - and its cheaper than lots of boards - get one! NOW!
i would definatly recommend it!
*humm!* dual channel DDR nice!

Steg

 

[wicka_wicka]

OR you could save $25 and get an EPoX 8RDA3+ or an ABIT NF7-S Rev2, both of which are cheaper and BY FAR better than the A7N8X. Please, heed my words and change your mind.

 

[WooDsta]

What is with this obsession with the A7N8X Delux??? All you've said is dual channel ram... lots of boards have that. 125$ seems too expensive, the only reason to spend that much if it was the best at overclocking... which unfortunately it isn't. The highest oc's i've seen have been on the epox board or the abit.

 

[wicka_wicka]

Basically it's all preference; I've seen the highest OC's on the 8RDA3+, but the NF7-S has Soundstorm audio (unlike the 8RDA3+) and has a better bundle. So basically just pick one: both are amazingly solid and stable boards.

Finally, the Wicker Wooder clan has arrived lay it down

 

[wicka_wicka]

Actually it's wicka.

Oh, and if we were rappers:

"Yeah yeah, just representing for my homies back at EOCF and XHW, shout to ya all for shizzle..."

The K7N2 is a nice board, from the side of being an MSI customer I can tell you they are very stable and mine has given me no problems, the only downside is that they don't OC far; IMO get a 2500+ and an 8RDA3+, the best OC'ing combo there is and it's around $200.

 

[Nic]

If you're going with MSI, then you want the 'DELTA' version with nForce Ultra 400 chipset (400 fsb support). The one you posted is the older version.

 

[Steg]

is go a7n8x cus its an asus and i like asus
it has loads features - there is loadsa room for a HSF
and its basiclly preference - like Epoc get epoc like gigabyte get gigabyte like asus get asus the performance isnt all that different
Steg

 

[Condor]

Im an computer novice -.-o

What does OC'ing combo or going with MSI " means?

thz

 

[wicka_wicka]

Steg, my point is that with the A7N8X it's not preference, it's just not the best. Period. So the only "preference" here is either NF7-S or 8RDA3+; or maybe MSI if you want a rock-solid stable cheap board.

 

[wicka_wicka]

OC'ing combo: The 8RDA3+ and the 2500+ both overclock extremely well and is the best bang-for-your buck system.
