Hi guy's not entirely sure if this is the correct place to post as it is about motherboard too, but it is about grphics and games.
Anyways, I built a budget system recently for my sister as her m/b gave up. I used the existing AMD XP2700+, got her an Asrock K7NF2 M/b and fitted her existing ATI 9250, (yes I know, cutting edge stuff here!!)
It operates fine but it seem that the graphics card is running in 4x mode.
Now on the m/b itself in print it says AGP 8x, although in the instructions it says BIOS options are 2x, 4x AGP Datarate, but in the instructions spec it says AGP 8x.
In the ATI CCC it states ATI 9250 4x.
Can anyone advise or help as she's been trying to play some games (nothing too complex) but they stutter badly, for example Ford Street Racing.
