Hey guys,
I just bought a Radeon 9800 and I am having some technical issues. When I run a DirectX diagnostic scan it says that I do not have the AGP texture acceleration enabled. However, it is grayed out so I cannot enable or disable it anyway. All Radeons are supposed to support this. Here are my system specs...

Whatta d*ck. How about keeping your mouth shut if you dont have any advice to give, aside from what constitutes your dream computer.
To answer the original post, try updating your chipset drivers.

What an unintelligent post! Why don't you just shut your mouth if you don't have anything relevant to say.

Try the latest drivers, cat 4.11 i believe.

Forgive me for being such a n00b about motherboard drivers... (and to address the RAM issue, I'm going to get a lot more pretty soon. I'm updating this comp so I can play HL 2 I already have the cat 4.11 so that's not the issue. Everyone says I need to update my mobo drivers but I'm not really sure what I'm looking for. My ignorance about mobos is astounding. Can anyone tell me what I'm supposed to be downloading?

well first of all if you can post your mobo make and model we can point you to a direct download. Generally just go to the mobo site and there will be something on there that will be a download.

Im not sure if everyone is talking about bios or actual chipset drivers. Both should be avaialble on the manufacturers site though.

Try downloading and installing the latest omega drivers (www.omegadrivers.net) and that might help to fix the problem.

Ok, so as seen in my system info, is my mobo a MSI KM400 or am I looking at the wrong thing?

It works alright now. Is there a utility I can use to reinstall DirectX? It still has minor issues with that.
