Boy do I wish I had some geek friends locally... Don't have another AGP system or an alternative PSU that is powerful enough to run this system. I guess I could take the card to a local computer repair place and ask them to see if it posts. Already spent $15 sending the graphics card back once...

ATI sent me a message saying I need to make my aperture size half the size of my physical memory if possible. I can set it at 256mb in the bios, but that still isn't half of 1.5gb. Anyhoo, this wouldn't keep it from posting... would it?

Since I've tried reseating it about half a dozen times, I'm fairly certain that I had it in correctly. The old graphics card doesn't have a problem needing reseating... On another note, I'm thinking of hooking the extra power connector to a 300W 3DCool.com PSU that came orginally with the...

I think I read on a review site (Anand or Toms) that 8x PCIX is about as fast as 8x AGP, and even the most powerful graphics cards are barely choked by 4x AGP. So you should not notice a difference between PCIX 8x or 16x. But it will be slow if you leave the bottom one running at 1x if that's...

Hmm... didn't think my True430 was that old... maybe 2 years old. My hardware monitor says my 2.5V is running at 0.31V, but it said that about my old psu, and was one reason I bought a new psu. Since it said the same thing about both psu's, I figured it was a sensor problem. But maybe it is a...

If you mean the connector near the chipset with the fan on top, according to the manual on the website, on page 21, you should connect this to the power supply if you are using two graphics cards to supply more power to keep it stable. It also says there is another connector (4 pin FDD type)...
