Problems & Suggestions:
Problem Current AGP speed is lower than maximum supported. This may cause performance penalty.




Also - I've formatted my hard drive several days ago. Before doing that, I bought a new hard drive and transferred all the files that I needed to it. After I formatted the drive and installed Windows XP Pro w/ SP2, I transferred all my files form the other hard drive to this one again and disconnected the new hard drive from my PC. When I try to play video files, the video runs smoothly for several secs and then freezes for several secs, and this goes on and on. I've never had this problem before I formatted the drive.
Could this be due to the AGP speed being not at its max?

Thanks for any help.

After reinstalling Windows, did you install the drivers for your video card or are you running on whatever drivers XP had for it?
