New Videocard

[FoeHammer]

Sorry guys I bother you with such a crappy video card problem, but i wan to know is it possible to solve such a problem, like:

I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 PCI bus
I/O Port 0x00000000-0x00000CF7 Direct memory access controller

I/O Port 0x000003C0-0x000003DF Intel(R) 82845 Processor to AGP Controller - 1A31
I/O Port 0x000003C0-0x000003DF NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

Memory Address 0xE8000000-0xE9FFFFFF Intel(R) 82845 Processor to AGP Controller - 1A31
Memory Address 0xE8000000-0xE9FFFFFF NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

IRQ 9 Microsoft ACPI-Compliant System
IRQ 9 Intel(R) 82801BA/BAM SMBus Controller - 2443

Memory Address 0xE0000000-0xE7FFFFFF Intel(R) 82845 Processor to AGP Controller - 1A31
Memory Address 0xE0000000-0xE7FFFFFF NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF PCI bus
Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF Intel(R) 82845 Processor to AGP Controller - 1A31
Memory Address 0xA0000-0xBFFFF NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

I/O Port 0x000003B0-0x000003BB Intel(R) 82845 Processor to AGP Controller - 1A31
I/O Port 0x000003B0-0x000003BB NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X

This stuff is really slowing my comp, and games, and overall perf. And my system is:

Well, make sure you do have the chipset drivers installed for the system as well as some Detonator drivers for that GeForce card (like 29.xx or higher). Sounds like you just don't have one or both of those drivers installed, and that will kill performance.

With XP, IRQ sharing is rarely something to be concerned about, as it only shows up that way. In reality there are virtual IRQ's used and just masked in a number.

FoeHammer,

I am looking to get a new video card. It has an AGP 8 interface. I was trying to find out what mine was, as this is a two year old factory built (piece of crap) computer. When I did a search for " Intel(R) 82845 Processor to AGP Controller", this was one of the results. Later, I found out this was the Intel 845 family chipset, which has an AGP 4 controller interface. My question is how well does your new video card work with an older AGP interface? I know so little about these things, and didn't want to spend $150 on Ebay for a really good video card if the performance will be slowed down by this. Sorry if this is over your head; it just seems you had the same situation as me (except I haven't bought a new card yet). Anyway, cheers,
