Don't have a pci-e card, but can loan you a pci geforce 4 if you need a card just to get the system up and running. I use it all the time for such occurrences! Very handy to have one. Got it for 10 euro off adverts...

Galway not a great place to get a pci-e card in a hurry...

I have a 16mb Agp card... Havn't tested it with COD 4 yet.. Kinda waiting for it to play CoD 1 first!... By the way.. how did you manage to explode your 8800gt. Not a usual thing to do?

ah welcome to OCN

have you got an agp slot?

Anti · 17-12-2007 4:26pm

Lads he is looking for a card that can play cod4, not tetris... If you look in his sig you can see he has a x38. That mobo has no agp slot. And im not sure there are any agp cards that could handle cod4 very well.

Andy, i have a few lying around in boxes here, will test if they are still alive or have coolers on them.

Why wouldn't there be? 7800, x1950 etc!

Though that's beside the point like you said its a bit bizarre offering agp cards. If only my 3870 hadn't been delayed you could have had my x1800xt. Ah, well...:p

requiem1 · 17-12-2007 6:20pm

is that your second graphics card? or did i imagine you had a gtx?

awhir · 17-12-2007 6:34pm

nope never had a gtx

also its a rma so i cant touch it

requiem1 · 17-12-2007 7:50pm

thats so crap, all i have spare is a x300 low profile i bought off adverts so i'm no help. does this mean your project is on hold? i'm really liking the look of it:D

awhir · 17-12-2007 8:00pm

not shure yet if i will go ahead and just loop the cpu and then when the gfx comes back i will bleed and add the gfx.
