I just recently upgraded from windows ME to XP. My video card settings in the system hardware no say that my card is running in pci mode. Is this normal and if not can someone please advise me how to correct this issue. Thanks

You may want to do a full reinstall of your graphics card/drivers and see what that does.

What is saying it is pci? The GeForce4 Ti cards only come in AGP, so I doubt there is anything to worry about. What drivers are you using?

Run 3Dmark, and if you get a really low score, it's running in PCI. ;) :D

I recently posted a message that my Gforce 4200 Ti is now running in PCI mode. I installed XP over ME now It shows that the card is not in agp mode. I just installed latest drivers from Nvidia today. 3D Mark went from around 8500 to 6500. how do i fix this problem. Please help. Thanks.

Check in your BIOS to see if there is a 'Primary Display Adapter' option. Set it to AGP and not PCI.

Also, make sure your card is running in AGP 4x(if applicable).

Again, what is saying that it is PCI?
