I was wondering if there is any program out there that can accelarate pci ports cause i have a g-force fx 5200 pci and some games run really nice on it and then others slow down a tad then other games the game it self is fine but fmv clips go all pausey thtats why i was wondering if there is a pci port accelator instead of resorting in over clocking the card. thanks in advance.

hate to say this , but pci increasing speeds, (yes can some cases), would be overclocking the card neway ....

Watch what you do with it. I only had mine running 40 Mhz faster on the GPU than stock, and 6 months after setting it that way, the card was fried.

thanks for the advise so i guess there is no way to acelrate the port it self (not the card).

unfortunately there isnt a way apart from overclocking, the PCI bus can only go as fast as the frequency allows, which at 33mhz (standard) it can only push about 250mb/sec, but to be blunt with you the FX5200 pretty much sucks, i wouldnt even attempt new games on it, you are better off trying to get yourself an AGP card, even the Geforce 6200 or a Radeon 9600 would give you an improvement

To enhance the suckiness of fx5200, even older GeForce4 Ti cards were faster than that...

Outside of possible PCI enhancement options of your motherboards bios, (what they do is beyond me though) there is no way to improve PCI slot speed as stated.
