AGP video card for vista ultimate 64

August 15, 2008

I have Vista ultimate 64 installed finally and functional and rock solid. To

do that I had to scrap a Nvidia 7600 GS for an ATI card. the ATI card is

a discard from a friend and not as good as I would like. Are there any ideas

for a AGP card that only uses one slot. All I lost going from xp pro 32 to

Vista ultimate 64 were 2 scanners Nikon does not support a film scanner in

64 bit, and Microtek said the same thing. For 5700 scanner Solved by moving

to another computer that is networked. I did try VMware and was able to

get 5700 to network but for the same grief moving to another computer is

just as easy. My printers Epson 3800 has all drivers and interface is

faster in vista, my laser Konica Minolta also has drivers and is not a

problem, smaller printers Epson 880 is solved do work in vista computer

and networked. and print from other computer. This group is great find me

an AGP one slot video card. Thanks

What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

With a video rating of 4, low score, I would like to update the ATI card

that I have installed, system is rock solid but it does not allow all that I

am paying for in Vista ultimate. And yes I like to be at edge. I have room

for a single card, and have not had luck with Nvidia in vista. I know

nothing about ATI everything else I have are Nvidia. So What cards are you

using with success in Vista. Thanks

Re: What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

A score of 4 isn't all that bad, and there will be limits on what you can

reasonably expect with AGP.

That being said, my main workstation is still an AGP, and it's got an ATI

1650 card in it. Not super fast, but a bit better than 4 if I remember

correctly (can't get to it right now to check.) That machine tops out at a

rating of 4, but it's the RAM speed that has it limited, not the video card.

If you look at the currently shipping AGP cards that are ATI based, you'll

see that the current top of the line are the 3850 cards. My pick of those

would probably be the Sapphire. They'll all tend to run warm, you may want

to add a cooler, especially if you have a system that runs a bit warm

already.

Re: What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

Thanks just ordered the Sapphire 3850 from New Egg probably a week

to Alaska I will keep group posted. My next low score are the opteron

processors at 4.7 after the video card so that is where I stop. ram and hard

disk are 5.9 so it was worth the try. It really does not matter if I can not

stay stable but system was started back when 64 bit was just coming out.

Betas of xp 64 and then Vista. I was right with what I started with. Sort of

a completion thing. If my only problems are the scanners not internal stuff

in the computers I had to go for it. Thanks again. I will post in a week or

when card is installed.

Re: What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

Re: What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

I noticed you mentioned replacing your early Opteron chips. I have

dual Opteron 270s in my Tyan machine, and I could now replace them

with dual Opteron 290s for approximately what I paid for a *single*

Opteron 270 when I bought them. I do not think it would gain me much

speed, but I have always wondered? I do not do a lot of complex math,

and I already have an nVidia 8800 GTX video card, but faster

processors would be nice. I am stuck with buffered PC 2700 memory

because it is a server board, which might make replacing the

processors a waste of money.

Thank you

Re: What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

not replacing Opterons my problem has been with the video card. Opterons

are solid 244 slow but very steady. Who knows after the video thing. The

low part will be the opterons you are correct replacing them now verses when

I started. You can get opterons in the 800 series for what I originally paid

for the single core opterons. My board will accept quad core with the bios

in it now so First things first. I need to see where the new video card

goes.

Re: What AGP card are you using with vista ultimate 64

You'll see not nearly enough difference going from 270's to 290's. Sorry.
