Ive got a K7S5A Motherboard and when playing Fifa online find that the game is all jumpy.
After checking with a few mates , it seems im missing the CPU to AGP Host Controller in my system Devices.
Ive checked bios to see if anything is Disabled that refers to this but dont seem to see anything.
Would really appreciate any help on this. |

yes im running the latest Nvidia 41.09 Drivers and have flashed my bios with the latest Bios.
My connection is ADSL 576kb
The Motherboard uses an SIS Chipset and Im sure the problem relates to the fact that im missing that CPU to AGP Host Controller.
When i ran Sandra Diagnostics , it came up that I had a Disabled Host Controller , which i think is the CPU to AGP. | |

when you are playing online is there a way to check your ping on a server? also is it "jumpy" when you are playing the single player mode? | |

On the matchup i can check my ping , which is pretty good compared to other users.
Yes even when playing the pc it seems to struggle to produce smooth frame rates as if its chocking.
Although its playable , i know that its meant to be a lot smoother than it is. | |

Have you installed chipset drivers for your motherboard? I've no experience with SIS chipsets - the only thing I could find on ECS' site was an AGP driver (halfway down the page). | |

You're not missing that item. Else you wouldn't have any display at all.
When online games get choppy, it's usually a matter of delays in the data transmissions on the 'net. You're not using one of those awful USB ADSL modems by any chance? | |
