agp card in agp slot shows as in pci slot?

[brandong]

i have a ati radeon 9500pro 128m agp card. i know it's a little old but it plays everything that out pretty well. the only problem is it shows up in the device manager as though it's in the pci slot.
i have read that if you use the pci slot next to an agp slot it can affect something to do with the irq's.
anybody got anything??
or since it seems to play okay just leave it.
i've had this computer for about 3-4 years now
system in a nutshell:
athlon 1.67
256 ddr ram
ati radeon 9500 pro 128m w/latest driver updates used both ati's and omega
at one point or another
windows xp (sp1) can't install sp2 for obvious reasons
dvd
cd-r
prevx intrusion prevention
sygate firewall
avast antivirus
latest drivers

Make sure you have agp set in your bios.

Boot up and press Del or F2 or F12 and look for the setting in there.

maybe just some error in reporting on your agp drivers, if it works ok, then leave it.
re instaling xp could help.

btw try with this app http://www.lavalys.hu/downloads/everesthome200.exe

i cheched and agp is set up in bios, but thanks for the suggestion fictious
also nikolax i appreciate the link and have downloaded and am looking at the info now.
it says agp enabled, but fast write isn't. what does that do?
also got:"Problem- AGP aperture size is more than half of the system memory size. This may cause performance penalty." where is that set up at and what are the guidelines. thanks again for all the help.

AGP aperture size you must set in bios, there is no real suggestion on the size, but put it 128. find it in your advanced setting in your BIOS. i allways put it 2x of the video memmory. my gess your 9500 has 64 mem.

if you cant find it, try looking in your mobo book.

p.s. sorry for bad english .

I have seen this before. Mainly its due to the motherboard's GART driver or the like. But I'm sure there are other causes.

It can show up as a PCI adapter in Device manager.

Now if I use Sandra 2005 and look under the AGP pulldown, it shows the GFX card there with the same Device ID.

If you have an AGP card and it's installed in your machine...it's in your AGP slot. Don't worry that it says PCI in device manager. AGP is a PCI bus type just on a different bus.

thanks asus i figured if it's in the right slot and it runs all the games, that's really all that matters. thanks everyone for their help
am downloading sandra now and will see what it says
