HIS Radeon 7000 PCI 64MB Display Card???

mcyi9ky2 · 08-23-2005, 06:17 PM

Hi, my friend wants to upgrade the display card for his computer and he asked me for help (the computer is running a 4MB 2x AGP card at the moment). I have bought ATI Radeon 9250 card and when it came to the installation, I found that there is a "jumber" kind of stuff next to the AGP slot.

The result was the 9250 card cannot be slot onto the motherboard, because the "plastic bit" was blocked by that "jumber"!!! (i hope u understand what i meant

)

Does anyone know what is that "jumber" next to the AGP slot, and it BLOCKS the 9250 AGP card??? It is the first time i have ever experienced such thing...

I went back to the shop and they told me that the motherboard model was too old so that it cannot upgrade to display card such as 9250, MX440 or MX4000 etc.

So, I have changed the card to HIS Radeon 7000 PCI 64MB Card (yeah i know...it is kind of old vga card). I just want to know whether the card support directx 9.0 from the Microsoft (not fully support of course)??? And is the card good enough to play SIM2???

Thanks alot

i have installed the HIS Radeon 7000 PCI 64MB Display Card, but when i tried to install the ATI driver the computer just hang up...and all icons on the desktop were disappeared???

although my computer is quite old...it is running at Pentium 3, win xp professional with 384MB (256 + 64 x 2) RAM

but i thought PCI display card should not have compatibility problem with motherboard....am i correct???

thanks
