October 26, 200322 yr GunfighterI recently posted a question regarding AGP transfer problem with FX5600 card and Shuttle motherboard. Got help suggesting that my "controller chip drivers" from MOBO weren't installed -- thanks very much for for the help, this may in fact be the problem. Unfortunately, I need a little help with the lingo-- assuming MOBO refers to motherboard?? correct?-- what is the controller chip? is that the chip that runs the motherboard?-- would this be on the motherboard CD identified as "install AV49N drivers"? (AV49N is the model of Shuttle motherboard)-- how do I find out if my motherboard drivers are up-to-date?-- any help for a neophyte greatly appreciated. Thanks. Greg.
October 26, 200322 yr Author They could be on the MOBO CD. Generally, if you have a Pentium CPU, you will have Intel MOBO Controller Chips; AMD CPU, you will have VIA MOBO Controller Chips. However, there are a lot of variations. Look for Intel, VIA, SiS, AMD, ALi to name a few.Open Device Manager, open System Devices, and look for the above names, especially:Intel CPU to AGP ControllerVIA CPU to AGP Controlleretc.If you have the MOBO manual they should tell you the specification of the MOBO and what controller chips they are using. Intel and VIA provide updated drivers on their websites. Some of the other vendors only provide basic controller chip software to the MOBO manufacturer and the MOBO manufacturer may modify it to suit their MOBO. Check with the MOBO manufacturer website for updated drivers.W. Sieffert Bill Sieffert
