Thanks! A friend from work brought me an AGP card to test. It works, so my AGP port is not the culprit. It was my video card. Now I get to find a new AGP card instead of PCI. Thanks again for the help! Mark

Thanks for the quick reply. I know it's time for me to upgrade, but I can't justify it just yet.....so for now I'll probably replace the video card. Thanks again! Mark

I think my AGP port may be dead on my Asus P4PE motherboard. Can someone help me select a PCI video card. What do I need to check to make sure the card I select is compatible? I'm worried since my motherboard is 4-5 years old now. I need a card with a DVI port. I don't do much gaming...

this place is great. thanks for all the replies. Well, uncle sam is sending me some money back, so I could part with $150ish ($200 if i absolutely had to) for a new card. I'm open for suggestions. I have 512 Mb ram, P4 2.4 Ghz. As far as games go, I'm still stuck with my age of empires...

thanks for the reply. It says it is both analog and dvi input. I read somewhere that it doesn't come with a DVI cable, so I'm guessing I wouldn't have any trouble. Thanks again. Mark

Hello. I'm looking at buying the Samsung 172X LCD monitor. I currently have an old NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 video card that I did not upgrade a year ago when i put together a new computer. Would the monitor work with that video card or would I have to buy a new one? I don't understand most of this type...

Hello, I have a couple of questions for anyone out there. I just purchased the 4600 for my dad. We did not upgrade the memory, so he is only getting 256 Mb ram. Best buy has a deal for 256 Mb Kingston PC2700 ram for $25 after $15 rebate. I think this will be the same ram that Dell will put...

Thanks for the heads up. I went to the store in Baton Rouge and it was $599.99. I told them that it was 429.99 at other stores, and the guy looked confused. I left and immediately called the store in Kenner about 50 miles away, and sure enough $419.99. I called the baton rouge store back and...

Hello. I found some information here on driver letter, and I just want to make sure I get it right. I installed XP, and it gave my zip drive designation c:, cd-rom d:, hard drive#1, e:, and #2 f:. If I disconnect my zip drive and reinstall, will it set the hard drive with Win XP to c...

GOT IT!!!!!!! Turns out that I d/l from creative's web site weren't for digital output. Gateway's site had some drivers for the SB Live Value card for digital output, and that did the trick. So, now I have sound. I'm still curious why I cna't get the onboard sound to work, but I cna figure...

thanks. I had already been to that site and d/l the latest. I think the problem is my speakers. I did a search on the internet and I have seen other people saying that the same speakers I have (Boston Acoustics BA 735 digital) do not work with XP. Other said there's did work. So, I'm...

Ok. I reinstalled XP.....still nothing. I took my old hard drive w/windows 98, and put it in my new computer, and the sound worked fine. So, it appears to not be working with XP for some reason. Any suggestions? Again, I have the Creative SB Live Value that I got with my gateway computer...

Speakers aren't bad. They work with my old computer. They are Boston Acoustics BA735Digital Speakers w/Subwoofer. Mark

thanks for the replies...... I am runing windows XP, and I still got no sound upon the first boot. I installed the latest drivers from the creative website. No, I'm not usig the S/PDIF digital output. I don't really know anything about that. I had it installed, but then I removed it...
