oky doky.. i have recently gottena radeon 9700 pro ,
but the system it's running on now is a 1.3 t-bird athlon (this guy cracked the dye, so it only runs at 1 ghz)
256 2100 ddr, and a k7s5a mobo...

well of course my performance is not that big of a jump fron my old card (gforce 2 mx 400 64) espiecially in loading times.. in game it's great thought..
anyway..

i and about to order an asus a7v8x mobob and an athlon XP 2400...

i was wondering if anybody knows of any known problems between the vid card and the mobo....? i have looked and seen a couple people having probs on other forums, but then i see a whole gaming systems twith the exact same specs for sale...

thx N9

If the processor die was cracked, you would not even be able to POST. Maybe it getting dinged up is causing your Athlon T-bird
only running at 1000 mhz problem.

The above symptoms are usually caused by:

1. The processor bridges got messed up.

2. If the Athlon T-bird is 133 mhz FSB based, an Athlon T-bird C, the motherboard resetted the FSB to 100 mhz.

thx for responding radny, but this does not answer my question, never the lesss heh,
yeh if i set the cpu fsb to 133, the comp will crash in a matter of minutes after booting into windows,,
but if i down clock it to 100, then it runs great, i was using this compo as a full time webserver for the last 5 months, but now i am actually shuttting it down sometimes..
but i've had it for over 2 years..
this guy put the cpu in for me, (so i could go get a HD from my house),
and see, my system started crashing (blue screen with lots of numbers).. so i took it back to jthe people i bought it from, and they loked at the cpu, it was cracked in two places and they cahrged me $60 just to tell me that..) then i actually looked at it at home, and it was, not very big cracks, but cracks al the same.. any way,,, i still need and answe to my first question,

ARE THEYE ANY COMPADIBILITY PROBS WITH AN ASUS A7V8X AND A RADEON 9700 PRO?

Well I run an a7v8x-x and it runs fine with radeon 9000 pro. Only thing I believe to cause problems is, MAKE SURE your card is 0.8 v or 1.5 volts compatible (8x 4x). This is in the manual.

Supports agp8x so means, I guess, the older cards won't work on it.

ALSO, I had to run my mobo with crappy pci graphics first, to chqange the bios as it defaults to PCI, not AGP??? It is great though.

I also have asus a7v8x mobo and radeon 9200 graphic card. Since I've installed radeon 9200, my computer just hang for no reason. I got this error msg "loop error/stuck.. something2.."

Please help me.

I have an A7V8X motherboard and have had an ATI 9700 since the day it came out! :-) They work flawlessly together.

Just make sure you have a beefy PSU to keep everything stable.
