Intel 915GL & Nvidia 8600GT

[Third Eye]

How much RAM do u have?

 

[BBThumbHealer]

@ Tech... 2 GB RAM

DDR 400Mhz...occupying both the slots

 

[Shloeb]

I don't think that card will work on ur motherboard. I also have the same motherboard. Just check the supported cards list. 8600gt is not there. And the slot on our motherboard is not a full-fledged pcie slot

the asrock site hasn't been updated ::: it will support the GeForce 8600 GT...

from the Web Info, it looks that it will suppose the Card !!

 

[BBThumbHealer]

plz be sure....otherwise its gonna be a waste of money !!!

 

[Choto Cheeta]

ASRock A.G.I. Express slot: Compaitble with PCI Express x16 VGA card

so, on paper it is suppose to support the card, but when u say waste of Money, then i suggest better email their support team, asking the same question

 

[BBThumbHealer]

i agree wid u ...given the specifications of MOBO ..it seems the card is gonna work but ....as u have suggested...mailing their support team right now !!

 

[Shloeb]

I had already mailed about this to the support team. A year ago i asked about the 7600gt card. Asking that is it supported? They said no. But after a long time they have added it to the support list. I don't know what they r upto. I think they will also say again that 8600gt is not supported.

 

[Choto Cheeta]

I think they will also say again that 8600gt is not supported.

Did u asked them as they have it on Web Site writen that PCI-E x16 cards are supported, then why not 7600 and if they dont support 7600 then why they writen that this board will support PCI-E interface ??

 

[Shloeb]

This is because the ppl on the support team just see the supported cards list and say whats written there. I don't know why they have added 7600gt to the support list. It might be because that they might have tried 7600gt and it might have worked.
I think they are concentrating more on the new models rather than old ones. So they don't check the cards that are supported with our poor mobo.

 

[BBThumbHealer]

is 8500 GT also a nice GPU ?

 

[Third Eye]

^ Yeah

 

[BBThumbHealer]

how does slow memory clock speed affects graphics ? n wat does the memory bus do ?

 

[Choto Cheeta]
