Some more questions for you... You mentioned that this is an External video card...
1. What type of port do you have it plugged into, USB1.0 USB 2.0 Firewire, etc.
2. Next question is why did you go for an external card, based on the description this sounds like a new machine, probably with a PCI-express slot, which will allow alot faster processing, while also using the internal BUS instead of a serial link from the external. Even if its an AGP slot you'd have better results with it.
3. What's the onboard Card ?
4. (I hate to ask this one, but it helps in comparison with #1) Cost of the external card.
6. What exact video card did you get, include a link if possible.


I have removed the external sound card and put the Graphics card in the other PCI slot, Still nothing happen...... Even changed the refresh rate and screen resolution..... Oh yes i remember when i was playing with this sitting I select the resolution 1024X786 and the monitor got hanged (all the LEDs started blinking and no display).

Somebody suggested me that i should increase the RAM too....
Now this sounds like an INTERNAL card that your using. I thought they stopped building PCI Regular cards with GF4, MX series... Do you have the manual for your Motherboard, based on the picture that I found of the board, and the configuration, it says there's 2 PCI slots and PCI-Express, its possible since this is such a small board, that you may have to enable PCI-Express through a Jumper setting, bus technology is rarely auto-sensing

http://www.intel.com/products/mother...glvg/index.htm is the link for the MB

If your going to run any games on that system, you'll need more RAM... 256 is minimum for XP imo. You need more if your going to run a graphics intensive application.

Next statement is that the internal board is almost the same as the one you purchased, although its taking away from your internal RAM by using it. the 915 video card has 128MB of ram, supports DirectX9, with OpenGL 1.5... Now I know most games are starting to only support ATI and NVidia; but why only go with a 128MB card when 256mb cards are pretty cheap at this time.

Sorry for rambling on, but more information is definately needed.
