Question about my Motherboard?
I just upgraded to Windows 7. My motherboard is a Biostar PT880 Pro A7 and for some reason when I try to play a game that uses 3D Windows tells me that it cannot detect a 3D capapble video card. I did not have this problem when I had XP, but then again this is an older system. What can I do so that I can play 3D games again? I know that Windows just needs to recognize my driver, but as this motherboard seems to be OEM I guess I have to install the drivers myself. I went to Biostars website and downloaded the drivers for all types of Pro A7 and none of them worked. Please help?

You need to buy a dedicated GPU or video card. Games these days feed off from a dedicated GPU. I see the motherboard has 1 x PCIe slot. Not sure if it's x8 or x16, but you can buy the latest PCIe GPUs from Nvidia or ATI, provided your PSU supports the watts required. The memory uses the outdated DDR RAM. There could be a bottleneck.
Save up and build yourself a gaming PC. Under $1000 and even $500 can run the latest games.
