AGP trouble , I am an expert, need an expert to answer this..?

I use a P4 2.4 A (478 pin), murcury 865 pearl motherboard and DDR 400 ( 512 MB ram ). And a 256 MB AGP ( geforce 6200 - NV44A)

I found out after buying that the crapy 6200 , it runs at 64 bit. So I decided to overclock it. I overclocked only 50 mhz on both memory and core( used Nvtweak) . Later after 3 or 4 hours I put things to default. NOW, the windows runs ok. But if i run a game, the screen frezees and restarts. Tried the AGP on an original Intel 865 GBF board. the AGP is fine. My motherboard can't handle 3D apps anymore. Is it possible that i corrupted the intel chipset by overclocking?? is it possible to flash that chip ( not the bios , its ok)

I need the name of a new board ( 865 chipset intel) and would like to know if ATi9550 or 9600 runs at 128 bit.

The GeForce 6200 has a few problems with compatability and I do not recommend that card to anyone. You might have corrupted something...there is always that chance when you overclock things. I would try a different video card.

When You Know Too Much It happens,You could have changed the VGA card,now you have to replace Processor...this time buy a 64bit

You can never get 64bit capebility by overclocking....read hard ware manual...............its a big diffrence

WHY do folks fiddle with things so? If you "tweaked" it beyond what those well informed engineers designed the systems to be run, you risk breaking it.
Check the ATI website for product specs.
