Integrated Graphics and AGP help needed!
 

Ok, here is my problem, maybe it's very easy to solve I just don't know but hopefully someone on the planet will be able to help.

Just bought a new PC and inside it has the "ASUS P4S800-MX Motherboard"
which I'm not sure if inside it has a proper AGP slot, it seems too small and is further centre to where usual AGPs are placed (I mean its not at the back of the board, where the monitor plugs in).........now, this board is using 'Integrated Graphics' which I'm sure you can just disable and plug in a regular AGP card, right?

heres the full specs:

# 300Watt Black & Silver ATX Case
# Intel Pentium 4 3Ghz 800fsb 1mg Cache Retail Processor
# Asus P4S800-MX Motherboard <<<<<----------
# 120Gb Hard Drive
# 512Mb DDR400 PC3200 Ram
# SIS Real 256E Integrated Graphics <<<<<<---------
# ADI AD1888 SoundMAX 6-channel CODEC Integrated Sound (S/PDIF out interface)
# DVD/CD-RW Combo Drive
# Floppy Drive
# 10/100 Mbps LAN Network Port (Broadband & Network ready)
# Serial Port
# 6 x USB2.0 Ports
# 2 x PS/2 Ports
# VGA, Audio I/O Ports
# Printer Port
# Win XP Pro

Here is an image of the m'board, as you can see the brown agp-looking slot is more central.....

I've been looking on the ASUS site and can't seem to confirm whether its a definated AGP board, and if it is, how do I plug in my Geforce FX5200 and disable the 'Integrated Graphics' ???


I think I'm going crazy cry:

Looks like AGP to me. oOo:

Umm thanks for elaborating......

here is a link to the board:

"Expansion Slots : 1 x AGP8X (1.5V only) 3 x PCI"


I just don't know how to fit my Geforce FX5200 into it, I've replaced cards, etc loads of times, just this board seems different. The pink box (on the board in the image) is where the monitor plugs into and that'll be the Integrated Graphics


my problem in a simple equation

Integ.gfx = no
geforcefx = yes
agp slot = how

wallbash:

Ummmm... How about you just see if your video cards fits in the brown colored slot. rolleyes:

Tryed that, it doesn't. I think it may have to do with the voltage setting maybe.

Anyone know what voltage setting a Geforce fx 5200 128mb ddr has?

Problem Solved!

No need to lose sleep anymore guys cool:

the reason for the AGP grafix card not fitting is a simple explenation .. the slot is a new 4x-8x agp port and is smaller than the present 1x2x4x ports

i know you solved your problem, but i was reading this and i just have to say that a 5700 is NOT an older graphics card, only about a year old. it is 8x agp

integrated as in it shares the memory with the ram>?

as that what my ati does on this pos laptop spank:
