Quite so. I don't classify myself as a real gamer just want to run Gp4 properly so its a proper F1 sim. When I've installed the game and the Geforce 4 420 MX for PCI which I get tomorrow I'll post how the game runs. Hopefully no loss of pace with no AGP slot.by Wineman - Grand Prix 4
Very interesting to hear - I've got near identical when my Geforce 4 420mx turns up tomorrow I hope, although only 1 ghz AMD Athlon but I hope this will cope. HOw are the textures on medium setting - if you set these full do you get a big slowdown or does it not matter that much?by Wineman - Grand Prix 4
I've got a chance to buy 3 PCI cards. Geforce 2 MX 400 64mb at £59, Geforce 4 MX 420 64mb at £92 and Hercules Prophet 4000XT 64mb at £79. Also does anyone have experience of the Kyro chipset rather than nVidia and what is the support for drivers etc like. Thanks all.by Wineman - Grand Prix 4
Thanks for this. I thought as much and I've had it confirmed no AGP slot - don't buy from Time. Before I spend big money is it possible my system - 1 Ghz Amd Athlon, 256 mb SD Ram would work okay with a Geforce 4 Mx - I believe its possible to get one for a PCI slot. Grateful for any final thoughts on this. Thanks.by Wineman - Grand Prix 4
Sorry - watching Italy Korea - the brown slot is about 4 to 5 cm I'd say and 1 of the PCI slots is taken up by the modem. I can't see the TNT2 - I wonder whether its integrated in somewhere but my GP3 2K identifies it as hardware!! Most pictures of AGP slots show them a similar slightly shorter length than PCI slots and slightly deeper into the box than the PCI slots. I still imagine atby Wineman - Grand Prix 4
Sorry to be paranoid about this but I opened my machine up. There appears to be a brown slot above the 3 PCI slots but it is much smaller than I expected - really about half or just over the length of the PCI slots. Pictures I've seen of the AGP slot suggest its bigger than this. Also my TNT2 is not connected here and in Display Properties it says "Bus Type: AGP (PCI Mode). Any thoughtsby Wineman - Grand Prix 4
Thanks for that. Presumably if it does'nt I'll have to buy a new motherboard? If so might as well pay a little more and get a better processor? How difficult is it to fit these things yourself - its somewhat daunting, to say the least - I don't want to waste any more money with Time Computers though.by Wineman - Grand Prix 4
I'm probably covering what has been covered in another thread but I'm also looking for a new card. I've seen various ad's also for nVidia GF3 ti 500 at around £120 to 125. However I went to one site where they offer to analyse your PC and the response was at best a GF4 MX 420 for PCI - does this mean I don't have an AGP slot? I bought the machine - AMD Athlon 1 Ghz, 256 Rby Wineman - Grand Prix 4
