Need video card for Windows 7 Ultimate

[casino3]

Currently running 3.2ghz P4 with a radeon AGP 9200 128mb. 2g ram. 320HD
Upgraded to Win7 ultimate and card still functions, But does not operate all Win7 features, specifically aero. I'm having a problem trying to find a AGP card with 1g mem and dual DVI that is FULLY compatible with Win7. Tried newegg, tigerdirect, and a few others. The cards are out there but many posts claim driver issues for 7, aero will not work issues, etc.
Can someone please help.

You'll have no driver issues with me around. Don't worry. Get what I have, exactly in my specs and you will love it. (HIS Radeon HD 3850 IceQ 3 Turbo HDMI Dual DL-DVI AGP)

If you can't find it for sale, get the ATI HD 4xxx line which is almost as good from Gigabyte or HIS as well. They lack a little compared to HIS 3850 because they all only use 128 bit memory instead of 256.

Let me know when you need help with drivers. No problem.

Just make sure you aren't running an nForce3 or lower motherboard. Which motherboard do you have?

 

[casino3]

Yours is not for sale and has been disco'd....

But, I did find a few others that are similar. Reviews state that windows7 aero will not function though by a few different users..motherboard is an old ass pos. Forgot the brand/specs, at work right now...

XFX HD-465X-ZPF2 Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 AGP 8X HDCP Ready Video Card -


SAPPHIRE 288L Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit DDR2 AGP 8X HDCP Ready Video Card

Either one will be no problem and work perfectly with Windows 7. (Those people that reviewed didn't have my help. )

But ya, before you purchase anything, knowing about which motherboard it is exactly is a must.

?
GIGABYTE GV-R465D2-1GI Radeon HD 4650 1GB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 8X HDCP

only one DVI though...

 

[torrentg]

Doesn't matter which one. Anything ATI HD for the AGP slot I can get to work easily with WDDM 1.1 Windows 7 support (as long as motherboard chipset is supported - like I said, no nForce3 or lower chipset.)

 

[casino3]

I'll check on that...

...and POST the motherboard name a little later. I know it includes the mboard and PSU as well. I don't see why any of those previous three I listed would not run the Win7 Aero feature???
I do receive a flicker on both of my monitors from time to time when running full tilt poker app and a few other things...

 

[casino3]

And how would I know if mine is lower than nForce3

by just viewing the brand name/specs..

You have listed the bios for the board not the board itself. Usualy if you open your case, next to the Ram slots it will list the make and model of the board, Like Asus,gigabyte,Intel,Abit , Foxcon,MSI,ect.

First off, I thank you in advance for your responses,

My Bad, actually had this sitting in front of me, MB specs are as follows:

AMPTRON
XP4-6540G
Socket 478 Int Pen 400/533/800mhz
Intel SIS661FX
2 DDR 400
Supports high performance Graphic accelerator..
blah blah blah...

Oh, by the way, I'm also getting a non-related error on boot-up. Seems that it doesn't want to recognize my Logitech Wave wireless keyboard and wireless Logitech Performance MX mouse. "Cannot locate keyboard", I plug a wired one to get it to boot. Then everything works fine, current drivers are installed and all... BTW, if you haven't seen the P mx mouse yet, ya got too.

So, now, will either of the those cards work?, I know my system is old as dirt but this is the last upgrade for this PC, then I'm going to build a nice little windows home server.

Well that is quite old, but it should work. I haven't seen any evidence against the SiS63L chipset, so I give thumbs up on it. Please note though, that this is no guarantee. Just my basic gut instincts that it should be fine. Especially if you currently do not have any exclamation points in the device manager.

That's another XP-only video solution. No Vista/7 drivers made according to Via's site I just checked on.
