My Compaq computer has this board (although MSI apparently disown it!) which has a Radeon XPress 200 chipset and was delivered with an ATI X1300 Pro graphics card. I want to upgrade this, however, and bought a Sapphire HD-4770 and installed it into the PCI-E x16 slot (the card is 2.0). However, whilst the card appears to work (i.e. I can see something on screen) screen updates have slowed to half and my Audigy 4 sound is corrupted. Add to this the fact that Core2 of my Athlon 64 X2 4200+ processor is running at 100% when idle and there is, obviously, something wrong!
I've upgraded the PSU to 550W, as per the graphic card's request and followed a number of suggestions on the ATI graphics board, here, but to no avail.
Does anyone have experience of trying to upgrade graphics with this motherboard and been met with success?
Frustrated.
either that or try another motherboard. you also still haven't mentioned whether you saw any device conflicts in the device manager
