I've just checked & my mb's bios allows me to set agp to 1x, so does it mean it's safe to plug the card in??

Ok thx, my mb is kt266a based, & the card in question is a Nvidia Riva128 card.

As title, can I put an AGP 1x card into an AGP 2x/4x slot?? I asked cos I know that AGP 2x cards aren't compatible with AGP 4x/8x slots, & I just want to know whether I'll burn anything if use an AGP 1x card on my mb. TIA

Will this combo outperform my current setup, which is PAL6035 + Delta 6cm 6800rpm fan? The 8cm fan I'm talking abt is EFB0812EH (specs are in http://www.deltaww.com/products/dcf.../EFB8080254.pdf ), & my current setup has it's fan sucking air from the heatsink. I plan to do the same with the new...

Which stepping & week is the best? What sort of results have been attained using aircooling? Can I use my MSI KT3 Ultra to oc? TIA

I have been running my 1.4 @ 1602MHz (11.5x139) for the past 4-5 mths, no problems at all. I think I've reached the limit already, as it'll become a bit unstable if I add 1 more MHz to the fsb, when running Prime95. The CPU will post @ 1650MHz tho, but it won't go into windows. I'm using my CPU...

I have just switched from a Nvidia based card to an Ati based one, & I have uninstalled Nvidia Detonator & installed ATi Catalyst. My question is, why have all the fonts changed in windows? The fonts seem to look slightly different in desktop, toolbars, apps' menus etc., & so are the sizes. I...

Which XP2100+ Tbred B has the most ocing potential? What are their maximum speeds (aircooled)? TIA

Which is better? I know they are miles apart in terms of pricing, but which one has better quality printing, scanning, & running costs?

I have tried all the above (bar BIOS settings), but each attempt was unsuccessful. I think USB port failure can be discounted, as the ports recognise other USB devices (albeit USB1.1). I have also tried installing an Adaptec USB2 PCI card, again it wouldn't recognise the Canon. It is strange as...

It doesn't work even after I installed MS's driver. Do u think there may be an incompatibility between the Canon & VIA's chipset?

Is it possible to 'downgrade' from Winxp Pro to Win2k? Are there any issues to be aware of?

Thanks! I shall try that in teh morning. It is rather strange that it works, to a certain degree, under the previous config (WinXP Pro, KT3 Ultra+Adaptec USB2 card), yet it doesn't work at all with the new components.

I have a Canon D1250U2 USB2 scanner, & my motherboard (MSI KT3V, with built-in USB2 controller) does not recognise the presence of it. The USB controller initially recognised the scanner correctly, that was before I installed the USB2 controller drivers. When I reached the final stages of...

Are there any issues to look out for when installing multiple LAN cards on machines running WinXP or Win2k? I have 2 PCs, one on WinXP & the other on Win2k, each already has 1 LAN card installed, & I just want to add 1 more LAN card onto each machine. TIA
