im attempting to make a small upgrade, instead of doing a complete overhaul on my system. right now i use a athlonxp 2800+, gig of ram (pc2700), and a geforce 5500...ive tried a geforce 6600 and radeon x850 on my system and both of them cause huge video problems. I have a 500watt power supply and i reformatted before each install, my epox 8kraipro has one small little bios update that doesnt help, and ive tried multiple different drivers. It seems to be that this motherboard im using (Epox 8KRAI-PRO) just will not allow any of the higher end agp video cards work, im assuming something with the voltage. Does anyone know a way to fix this? or if i cant, is there any motherboard that would take my athlonxp2800+ that also has a pci express slot? or do i HAVE to upgrade to a amd64 to get one - thanks
 
No. There are no PCI-Express Socket 462 (Socket A) solutions that currently exist on the market.

Athlon XP's are classified as obsolete and on the lower end of the performance spectrum. There is no real motivation for very many people to make PCI-Express boards for them.
 
if i did make the jump to amd64 i would need a new mobo, cpu and also most likely the ram since the 64 runs 200mhz fsb right...im currently using pc2700 crucial ram (166mhz)
 
Well there's always the other option. Grab a Socket 754 sempron and a Biostar T-Force socket 754 , And you will have pci-e and when you want to you can take your graphics card with you when you finally upgrade to athlon 64. I have my T-Force which i was running with my sempron on the integrated graphics for a little while and the thing has so much over-clockability.

Good Luck TopGun


Motherboard - $70 , Processor 60-80 from the egg

not only obsolete, but also EOL.
 
You'll probably have to throw a new powersupply into that mix aswell if you go 939
