Here's the story. I have a socket 478 motherboard, kinda bad. (ASRock P4i45GV) I purchased an ATI Radeon X850 Pro, AGP 256 mb. nothing would show up on my monitor going thru the VGA port. So now I want to get a new motherboard. Any suggestions? Socket 478 with an AGP slot, ASUS, MSI, anything. I just want it to work. Pentium 4 3.2GHz processor ATI Radeon X850 AGP 256 MB 512 MB DDR33

And that's why I want to get a new motherboard, but I want to make sure to get a board that will function with all of my parts. I know that Socket 478 is kind of unpopular for a gaming computer, and i just wanted to make sure to get a board that could hold both the X850 and is socket 478. Thanks a lot sampson for taking your time to help a kid like me. Thanks everyone. Niko

Does anyone else have A socket 478 board with an X850 in it?

I just plugged it into the onboard motherboard when i noticed the X850 wasn't doing anything. I did try disabling the onboard video then plugging the monitor into the X850, but still nothing. I did uninstall the old drivers and nothing. I'm assuming it got enough power, because the fan on the card was spinning fine, very loud, and i did try taking the power out of the harddrive and it still didn't work. I did not try a new motherboard. I'll check out tomshardware.com and thank you so much for replying. Niko.

Don't disregard! I need help!
