i got this simalare looking card, im pretty sure it is the same series . but a diffrent model. Yeah... : LINK Those cards you picked up have 0 things in common (aside from AGP port/molex power plug and 512MB memory capacity/type). They are different enough so that the second one (MSI 7600 GS), MAY* …

Your card is Radeon HD 3650 512MB AGP from PowerColor/VisionTech : LINK ^It's a bad card for games, but better than average for movies. Did I win something ?

I'd stop back a generation because Microsoft are evil SOBs. Windows 7 is still supported, but not if you have Kaby Lake or Ryzen. You'll get NO updates, NO security patches, nothing, unless you're running an older CPU. Stop at 6th gen. If you don't know the software - sure, but I don't use broken …

4.66GHz should be doable on C1/D0 rev. Presler. It will require 1,4V+ on Vcore*, but if VID mod is supported, it should at least boot. Problems will pop up when you try to test something tho. That kind of voltage on 65nm Pentium D with HT, usually means overheating VRMs. *may be less for vrm with …

Personally, I would stop stop at GTX 780 Ti card for XP (because it's faster than fastest official XP card from GTX 9xx series ie. above mentioned GTX 960). Windows XP Min. (my choise) : Platform : Slot 1 with Pentium II/III CPU (or Celeron 333/450MHz :)). 128MB RAM GeForce TNT/TNT2 or ATI Radeon …

LOL I meant why do you use 10.2 for the 3850 AGP? To be consistent with HD 5870 results :) If you compare two GPU's, you should compare it with the same driver if possible (at least that's how I see it). Also Cat. 10.2 worked in almost every test I did on it, so I didn't saw the need of changing …

Simply put : It doesn't work that way. Can you run driver installer in KernelEX ? Probably. Can you run driver itself in KernelEX ? No way. Drivers are files, not a executable programs.

You've obviously have never experienced just how horrible of a card series the GeForce FX series was. They were the weakest cards for their era due to the fact that Nvidia decided to put the shaders in an array which wasn't an industry standard and no one really supported it. The FX series had …
