    I have the KT4AV motherboard, I have RADEON 9200 LE Family video adapter, I run windows 7 upgrade advisor utility, says we don't have compatibility information about this device.
    Can you please tell me what video card will allow me to run windows 7 on this motherboard AGP?
    Or if I can use this RADEON 9200 somehow in Windows7.

    Eager for a prompt reply.

    Don't worry about it. It may just not run Aero like MS wishes, but it will still work with the operating system. If it does not load the drivers, you can download them from the manufacturer website.

    You'll certainly need to install DirectX9 to get the best out of this card, turn off Aero - the drivers may need to be Vista, I'm pretty sure nothing's been released for W7 for these.

    Standard ATI/AMD drivers for W7 may work with this but nothing will have changed with the actual drivers loading for several years.

    I just checked with the AMD site, the latest drivers are for XP :( so this card will run as a standard gfx card, no hardware acceleration, the screen is likely to draw very slowly - I'm not sure it's worth it except in emergency, but if you want to test it, please report back with your impression.
