friends ,
i have a compaq pc [evod380mx],which has intel 845g mobo and 512 mb ram,from sometime the screen ws showing random lines ,so an engineer checked it and told onboard graphic card has problems, so better add a new agp card,
hence 2 days ago i went to pc market [in lucknow]and told shopkeeper that i want a good agp card[ i don't had much experience in this line],
he contacted some shopkeepers and said now market is of pcie cards so agp are hard to find and then gave me
this card in box=
"Ati sapphire radeon 9200 ddr agp 128 mb" card for Rs 1700,
i thought it is costly but he said it is latest and now a days it is hard to find agp & so on.
But when i attached it to my pc [xp detected it and installed drivers]but after reboot xp gaved bsod,
so rbooted in safemode and removed xp drivers and installed driver from cd but again bsod,
i searched in internet and tried many drivers but all are giving bsod.So what can be done?
Secondly on net i found this card is very old andwill not suoort directx9, so does the vendor cheated by giving this card for 1700/-,
should this card be given back and changed for some other card?
some ppl told me ,these cards also came in same price range=
ati radeon 128mb 9550
nvidia geforce 5200
" 6200
should any of these cards can be taken & what will be their genuine cost.
thx for any help.
