i have been trying for weeks now to install this agp card into a x4 agp socket
according to all literature it should work,but i can get the card to work,and drivers to install,but the graphics are cloudy,and distorted,and while i use dxdiag,the cube in display tests is bitty in appearence and the resolution is cloudy and distorted,but dxdiag returns with"all tests were successfull"
do you think this is a problem with the card,or will a different driver(such as a driver from the manufacturers site(inno3d))sort out the problem
i cant see a different driver working as they are all universal,but stranger things have happened
for reference my agp slot is on a old board(sis730s)and is just a plain brown slot,with no divides like the agpx8 slot,so have i got a incompatible agp slot,but i have run si-soft sandra lite diagnostics and it has reported i have a agp(x2,x4)slot
any graphic card gurus with a answer
cheers

It sounds like that card is bad. No wonder, it's at least 5 years old. Video cards don't last that long. Anyway, to find out if it is in fact the card, download this: http://www.drivercleaner.net/professional.php It will remove all traces of any driver(s) you tell it to remove. Just be careful, and follow the directions explicitly, or you'll be reloading Windows.

if you've installed the new drivers from nvidia i think its the detonator series you may get conflicts. if you've installed them roll back to the original driver. you really need to upgrade. mx4 is a decent card for some games but todays games need a powerful card. i had an mx4 nearly 4 years ago. rebulid the mobo. check your bios and make sure the agp slot is enabled

Good god man, that's three generations old! Get a new PC with a PCI Express slot for your graphics cards so you can enjoy some decent frame rates!

I'd say update the driver it can make a huge difference.

It should work fine, did you forget to disable the onboard graphics if you have it and download the latest drivers from nvidia http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_91.31.html.
