Ive managed to acquire a 3850 agp and have been keen to get it going. After going through all my agp motherboards i found one that supports ddr2, core 2 duos and agp which is the GA-VM800PMC. I originally tried it with an e5400 (unsupported cpu) and it booted but it was running at 1.6ghz instead of 2.7. I thought this must be some weird compatibility issue so i decided to buy the best cpu that this motherboard officially supports, leading me to spend a huge $2.95 on a e4600. It still has the same issue though. CPU is detected but both on the post screen and in windows xp it is only running at 1.2ghz instead of 2.4. Ideas? Id really like to be able to benchmark the 3850 with no bottlenecks!
