AGP CARD RUNNING AS PCI?!?!?
ok, i got this FX5200, anyways, i was just looking in my device manager, and it said that it is running throught PCI Bus 1. i thot, ok, the bios is running PCI, so i checked, and nope, Primary Graphics adapter is still AGP. I have the latest mobo drivers, and using the 44.03 Drivers, please help me, or tell me if this has nothing to do with the performance.
P.S. i bought this card, it says 128bit on the box, but in Rivatuner, it shows it at 64bit, please help me, thanks!

"PCI bus 1" is the comps lingo for your AGP slot. Dont worry about it. Now what exactly is the thing thats supposed to be 128 bit? need more info, read what it says on the box and type it here.

What is Rivatuner saying is 64 bit? The ram? The core?

I'm thining he mistook the amount of RAM for the "256-bit" core.
The 5200 is an EXTREME budget card, and doesn't have much RAM.
Does it really say "64-bit" or does it say "64 MB"?

And FYI, AGP is a souped-up PCI port that goes directly to the Northbridge chipset for fast access.

There are plenty of 64-bit GF5200 models. Unlike with ATi who put an "SE" suffix onto their castrated stuff, you can't tell from the product code.
