Hi, I have a NVIDIA n6600 AGP card. After I installed it, I was looking around in the display options and saw. The NVIDIA tab show that my video card is AGP, and the adapter tab>properties show my video card as using a PCI bus instead of AGP it look like this (Location: PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0) I got the latest drivers from NVIDIA. And latest driver (Intel Chipset Device software: INF_AllOS_8.3.1009_PV_ Intel) from Intel. And even I format the hard drive and install WinXP.but it didn’t help. Can some one tell me how to fix it, change (PCI Bus to AGP) Thank you in Advance.
There is nothing to fix as AGP connector is reported just
PCI bus 1, Device 0, Function 0
AGP is a special slot on the PCI bus optimized to transfer data between core and video RAM.

LOL. It didn't help becuase there's nothing wrong.

To add to the above responses the AGP bus is just an EXTENSION of the PCI bus. Basically just an overclocked PCI slot running 66MHz instead of 33MHz.

Hi
thanks for your reply.I thought it should be AGP in the adapter tab.
I have 4 GB of RAM in my computer.I added the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini file. And the system properties still showing only 3.25 GB of RAM. Do you think we can fix it?

Hi hfdd,
From what I have read WinXP in general will only reconize 3-3.5 G.B.'s of RAM max ! I have 3 GB of DDR2 RAM installed and its all reconized however when asking about installing 4GB's I was told WinXP will not reconize all of it. My system even when Iam multi-tasking rarley uses more then 30% of the installed RAM !
Take Care,Nick

"I added the /PAE switch in the Boot.ini file. And the system properties still showing only 3.25 GB of RAM. Do you think we can fix it?"
There is no "fix", including the /PAE switch and/or the /3GB switch. You need to install a 64-bit OS.
"The /3GB switch forces the OS to allocate 3GB to the program and only 1GB to the system. This can result in the OS being squeezed and not working efficiently. It's necessary for only a very few, extremely RAM-hungry programs. It will not make your missing physical RAM reappear."

"Basically just an overclocked PCI slot running 66MHz instead of 33MHz."
And then n-pumped for even more bandwidth.
AGP x8: 66.6MHz x 8 = 533MHz
533MHz x 4 bytes = 2132MB/sec

I have an other question for you.like always Thank you in advance.
I have two partitions in my hard drive.each one has windows xp.some time if I'm using the second partition and I want install Drivers or Programs they install in the first Partition and I don't want that happening because that why I have two Operator system.
can you tell me how fix it.Thanks

I doubt drivers would install on an OS on a different drive.
As far as programs go, you can usually choose where to install them. You need to learn to read the screens before hitting the Enter key.

Hi
(I doubt drivers would install on an OS on a different drive)
It's not that what I said.
I'm using only one hard drive.and it happens only if I'm working in the second Partition of the hard drive. that mean not the first one. Not C but D.if I'm working with the first Partition C there's no problem with that.
My question is there any option where I can make that partition read only?.
As installing program I agree with you,But some Drivers and Programs they don't give you the option where to install them.
Again Thank you for your help.

Why are you dual booting XP with XP?

While I do know the difference between a drive and a partition many folks use the terms interchangeably. I still stand by my statement.
If you are booted into one install of WinXP and attempt to update hardware drivers while in that OS that is where the update will take place.
How are you attempting to update when drivers are installed to the wrong installation?
And while asking questions I will ask, why would you NOT want to update the drivers on BOTH installations?
jam had a valid question that I would like to here the answer to also.
