Broken In
My machine is a amd athlon 2000+ xp with a msi km something motherboard...
Edit : I have 256mb DDR ram.
There was some probs with my CPU recently as when i used to switch it on, it used to power on and then in 3 seconds shut of.
I initially thought there was a problem with the power supply.
My h/w man took the cpu and told me the foll :
The agp slot is gone.
As a result my nvidia riva tnt2 iis gone as well.
I have win98se and win xp dual booted.
Win xp just refuses to start now and win98se gives illegal operation errors every 10 mins for almost every application.
So i am reduced to some stupid pci card with 2 mb memory.
I was just planiing to buy a new card maybe geforce fx 5200.
But the news of my agp slot going bust is a shock.
Furthermore my h/w man also told me that amd cpu's should always be used with asus mainboards and not via chipsets.
Is this true?
No what do i do ?
Do i upgrade my motherboard or is there any other alternative or is the h/w man trying to fool me into buying new stuff?
And yeah i wanna play games boo hoo....
Please help me techies!!!!
