Ok dude, do the following

First check if u really have a AGP slot Free on your mobo.

Then, next see to it that the AGP CARD which you have purchase complies with your mobo, to check this consult your mobo manual, if you do not have printed manual for your mobo, download the manual from the manufacturers website.

Then next, install the AGP CARD into the AGP Slot as per the directions given in both the motherboard manual and the AGP Card manual.

Next, do not connect your monitor to this AGP CARD now.

Switch ON your PC, your PC should boot as usuall and let windows load, once windows has completed loading, by default Windows should detect the AGP automatically and ask for the appropriate drivers to be installed.

If however it does not instal as drivers, u can manually install the drivers which came with the AGP CARD. This will be your hardware installation and hence the drivers can be install similar to installing drivers for printers, hence head to the Control Panel and intall this hardware.

Once the drivers are properly installed. Shut down your PC.

Now, change the Monitor Cable and connect it to this card. (You will have to select this card as the monitor output in the BIOS also)

Re-start your PC, and this time it should work.

its not could... Intel says that this chipset does have probels with 3.3V cards.... i am not a card expert... so i cant say what is the actual volt this card works at.... if its works at 3.3V then intel asks u to use the jumpers....
