Hi hope someone can help, I am hoping to upgrade to Vista Home Premium. I seem to have all the right specs except for the graphics. I have an ASRockK7S41GX MOBO : Athlon 2800+ 2GHz Socket A CPU : 2GB DDR1 RAM PC3200 : Chipsets, Sis 741GX, FSB@333MHz, AGP 8X/4X (North Bridge)-SiS 963L USB2.0 ATA 133 (Southbridge), and a PATA 250GB HDD (not Utra DMA-I think?). The problem seems to be my 1.5V 8X/4X AGP graphic slot. I have been informed several times it can't support DirectX10 graphics needed to run some Vista features. So I cant buy the appropriate card unless I have a PCI Express slot, which I dont have. Is there any way around this ? I would rather buy a card and the disc to upgrade rather than a new MOBO, new DDR2 RAM 2GB, new CPU etc. I posted this problem on a local site and one answer I got was "not only will your graphics won't work, but your CPU can't handle the VHM" what is VHM???? I googled it using the AND function with, CPU, MOBO, Graphics etc, but came up blank. Can I find a solution please, I really can't afford the 2nd option. Thanx,
Eamonn.
