What did you do to install the 3850 agp drivers in Windows XP? I have a Sapphire 3850 agp and I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to get it working under WinXP, I ended up installing Windows Vista on my Pentium 4 setup.

Now the Tandy 1000a - I bought this thing in 2007 for $10 at Value Village 100% original and stock, but decided to hop-it-up with an XT-IDE controller and turn it into my main XT-Class Machine. Future plans and the only other mods left are an NEC V20, 8087, one of the compatible TRS-80 style mice, …

It seems that this is not my lucky day, I just tried the Asus nforce2 board and it appears to be DEAD, tried a cmos reset but the thing still does nothing, I even exchanged the CPUs and RAM ...0, Oh well, I guess I'll put AMD out of the equation for now.

Thanks, In the end I will be better using the P3 I guess, W98, and I'll also be pairing the GF4 with the SLI V2's, DX 5/7, no Farcry for now 😁 I believe I will be running both Clive Barker's Undying and No one Lives Forever maxed out on this thing.
