I think that's an SE. I have the same style of card in my Athlon XP system. It is branded as a Radeon 9800SE and has the same style of memory (rectangular chips, 128 bits) and core. However mine has a Radeon 9700 type HSF and a floppy power connector. I believe it scored 4200 pts in 3DMark03. …

What resolution and settings you're using ? I remember when I had semptron 2400 or 2600 with nforce 2 and radeon 9600 pro I had really bad performance in nfs hp2 @1024x768 max settings. Also windows xp sp1 or 2 might improve performance.

Well seems like this card is kind of aftermarket frankenstein . 5ns memory wont get anything good as its 200mhz only plus 128 bit bus .ID recommend overclock memory as fast as possible as core doesnt give you any benefit because of memory... As at other hand its unique piese of hardware aswell as …

MSI 845 Pro, socket 423 w/ 845 SDR chipset. Had one and sold it. IIRC it might have Northwood support as well thru an 423-478 adapter. (might be wrong on this one but I remember mine had such an adapter, however I don't remember if it was a Northwood in there.) Yeah thats socket 423 , never had one …

What's your motherboard ? As far I can see there is agp and pci-e all together so I presume that agp port is not really agp. It might be AGI or AGX variations . Those ones have compatibility issues.

Thanks for the feedback. :) I know there are better options out there, these are just the parts I have on hand and what the build will start with. I'm just curious how they would perform in a Windows 98 SE based system at those resolutions. I may get a better CPU and GPU down the road, but for now …

The Sempron is a budget-oriented CPU. If you have the chance to upgrade to an Athlon, I would highly recommend it. The Radeon 9250 is decent but not particularly powerful. A Radeon 9600 Pro, 9700 (Pro), or 9800 (Pro) would offer significantly better performance. As for Nvidia's 6000-series cards, …

Geforce 3 has hw shaders support while geforce mx hasn't or strictly limited through sw . With pure speed geforce mx should be faster . But geforce 3 ti200 can be overclocked to ti500 clocks , in this case mx might be slower .

What exactly happens when you install drivers ? Does it gives you error that none compatible card was found or it silently finish instalation and nothing happens after reboot ? I'd checked dx version 9 , windows installer 2.0 and net framework 2.0 present before installing drivers.

It seems like it's ECC Registered DIMM according to official site, that means that it's mirracle that you booted even one stick and it won't combine with regular dimm modules . Also it might be buffered witch absolute unsupported by via 694t chipset . Also your memory have high latencies and slower …
