I've recently upgraded my system from this:

AMD Athlon MP 1800+ (x2)
Asus A7M266D
Crucial 2100 1gb (2x512)
Radeon 9800
2x WD 100gb raid 0

to this system:

AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+
Gigabyte K8U-939
Geil 3200 1gb (2x512)
Radeon 9800
2x WD 100gb raid 0


I am experiencing strange artifacting and corruption in 3d games which is only solved by switching to AGP 4x mode. If i use 8x mode and also increase the agp voltage through bios the artifacting diminishes...when i set it to the maximum 10% voltage increase the artifacting is almost entirely eliminated. I do not suspect my Antec 400w to be a problem. Im thinking the agp port is running out of spec and i might have to return the mobo. Im looking at the ASRock 939Dual-SATA2 for exchange, will it support my cpu? Thanks for any suggestions.
