Problem with my vid card - help!

[TheCrimster]

I have a somewhat older system: Asus P3v4X mobo and a Gladiac GeForce 2 vid card. (win xp is my OS, btw)

The problem is that my vid card in the system properties states it is in a PCI slot!

I updated the bios for the mobo (1005) and checked all the settings in the bios that I could think of, but no matter what I do, it says pci. I just *know* that this is slowing down my system.

Any suggestions?

it's not slowing down your system, promise. If it bugs you too much, install the newest vid card drivers.

It may slow down your perf. In any case it should id as an AGP card.

Be sure to install the latest non-beta updates for your BIOS, mobo & gfx card and check both manu & chipset websites.

Since the drivers for all hw that come on the WinXP CD are very basic drivers, designed to only get the hw working it's always a good idea to install the latest drivers for ALL of your hw.
