Need Some Motherboard Help

[Samurai]

Is your memory multiplier incorrect in BIOS?

You haven't mentioned what new motherboard you got.

Yea, sorry. Its a PCCHIPS M811.

I cant make a boot disc to try and update the bios cause the floppy drive wont work on this either.

CPU: Athlon XP 2600+
RAM: Dual channel (not supported on this mobo) PC3200... I think Crucial

I tried setting the DRAM to 100 (CPU is at this speed) and nothing changed. I cant set the cpu to 133 cause Windows wont boot up.

Need any other info?

You're probably trying to run a 333MHz FSB CPU on a board that can only support 266MHz FSB.

Check CPU support here: http://210.17.27.3/PCCWeb/Products/P...=CPU%20Support

There are both 266MHz and 333MHz FSB versions of Athlon XP 2600+

ok

But what about the problem with the video card? Its a GeForce4 Ti4200.

I have it hooked up to the monitor and its giving me video, but its not in device manager and when I try to install drivers, the setup says there is no supported device connected.

Have you installed the mobo GART drivers? Without those it won't recognise the AGP slot as anything other than a basic VGA controller.

[SingaBoiy]

The disc didnt have anything like that on it... atleast that I know of.

[Virtualbody1234]

GART driver are available online.

But if I was in your position, I would backup the important data from the 200GB drive, Exchange the motherboard for one that supports 333MHz or even 400MHz FSB, Reassemble the PC and do a clean install (format).

Where can I get the GART drivers from? I couldnt find anything from google.

This is what I decided to get:

The M811 mobo has a VIA chipset, so you would need the VIA 4-in-1 drivers, probably version 4.43 is best for older boards. Available here.

However, the Foxconn board should suit your purpose far better.

Since it also has a VIA chipset and you haven't yet installed the motherboard drivers you may be able to switch to this board without doing a fresh installation.
