Is that so!!! trust me to buy a troublesome card! well it has an agp slot and it supports 8x whatever that is so I had been considering that option, I just didnt want to splash out (not a big splash mind!) and find I still had the same problem, i think it may well be the way to go, might get another motherboard whilst I'm at it any suggestions? As for my needs, well I do play the odd game but not many and not that often but I just hate it when things aren't right! you no what I mean?
