1.Monitor cable is not tightly connected with VGA card.
Check the connection of your monitor cable. Tighten the screw on the connector.

2.Your motherboard does not support AGP 4X or 8X.
If your motherboard only supports AGP 1X/2X, it cannot provide correct voltage to your AGP 4X/8X card. So you will have to change your Motherboard or VGA card to fiteach other.

3.If there is integrated graphics function on your motherboard, it may conflict with your VGA card.
Disable the integrated Graphics from the BIOS setup program.

4.Other components' fault in your system.
Check your CPU, Motherboard and Memory.

His budget is below RM200 You are already asking him to spend more Besides, he doesn't even need 7300GT to play his games, almost any sub RM200 cards will run his games just fine

You might want to settle for 7200GS, c-zone selling RM180

Easily the fastest sub RM200 card.

The 7200GS is for PCI-E, maybe they are making 'em for AGP cards too.

The best sub RM200 card is the 6200, or the 9550 variant cards. Any one of them will do. The Geforce 6200 I mentioned is only 64-bit, but it's a DDR2. Works nice and pretty good without too much details sacrifice. Only thing is minus the AA and enable the AF 2x.

[Max_87]

my bad, I thought the 7200GS is PCI-E.

The Geforce 6200 I mentioned is only 64-bit, but it's a DDR2.

DDR or DDR2 isn't really the issue here... Unless the 6200 has high enough memory clock speed to compensate for the 64-bit memory interface, otherwise its very unlikely for it to easily outperform the 9550 with 128-bit memory interface.

but for his case, it probably doesn't matter at all He can get whichever card he likes

[Adrian Wong]

Yeah, DDR vs DDR2 doesn't really matter. The memory bandwidth is the key issue.

thanks for all ur input
i gonna go for the 9550GE or anything with 128 bit

i just too worried, i gonna try my fren's 8x card first on my mobo before buying one.

I'm sure your board is okay with the ATi videocard. Yours is a SiS chipset one - it's good to go. I heard that the VIA chipsets are quite picky in ATi videocards - some wouldn't run perfectly on it.

Go for a 7300GT AGP card if u can afford it,otherwise 6200 AGP.

The 7300GT is beyond the thread-starter's budget. To be much more realistic,his options will be a 6200 or an Asus 9550GE. These cards will help in lightweight games and even games like Doom3 and HL2 to work okay provided you turn off the AA.
