How do I go about uninstalling the GART driver?

Guess you mean card driver, in that case (if using windows XP, will have to do this from memory since I run Vista) if you have an NVIDI card just go into add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstall NVIDI Drivers.

Otherwise try googling http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=16154

Ok well just for the sake of accuracy the AGP (Accelerated Graphics Port - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port ) port is not a Version of the PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peripheral_Component_Interconnect) port the newer PCI-Express and PCI-X is however improved versions of the PCI databus.
Well, for the sake of accuracy...  PCIe has absolutely nothing to do with the PCI standard.  PCI-X is a multiple channel PCI bus, which works much in the same way registered DIMMs work.  And AGP is indeed PCI.

True, AGP at a high level is quite different than PCI.  It has a dedicated DMA controller, and it has several CPU-independent enhancements.  However, the advantages/enhancements for AGP must be supported by the BIOS, OS, and video card.  Without these requirements, AGP is nothing more than a dedicated full duplex PCI channel.  The I/O calls are identical.  So for being anally retentive and splitting hairs, I can say without a doubt that AGP is PCI :p.

@Tyrian:  The GART drivers are part of your chipset drivers.  You should have an option to remove portions of your chipset drivers in your add/remove programs.

That's a bad price. You can get an EVGA one for $100 AR ($110 up front) on Newegg.

Actually, that is a good price for a 7600GT IF IT IS AGP!

The cheapest 7600GT for AGP on NewEgg; $165.
A 7600GS would be a good card for AGP as well; $100

7300GT; $100
7600GS; $100
7600GT; $165
7800GS; $180

  • A one hit wonder, you still want to touch this.
Under absolutely any circumstances get the 7600gs. Oh my god that one is the worst card ever. THE RAM ON THE GS IS EXTREMELY CRIPPLED!
I know, i was going to buy one, until i got smart. There's a reason why the gt is more expensive, you do not want the gs it just does not do very much for games if you did buy it (the 7600gs benchmarks reminded me of a radeon 9250, they were pretty ****ing bad).

Ah, you're right, I forgot that he wanted an AGP one. That would be the next best choice if his power supply can't handle the X1950pro.
