I have hp crap computer and it only runs AGP in 4x...
Is there no way to update the bios and change it to 8x.
I am pretty sure this is the main cause of my card only getting an average of 12 fps on the 16th wave for DW MM, But on wave one I get like 50. Any help?

can't offer much help here buut, if you have to flash BIOS (someone may explain) get a UPS battery to protect it because if it goes wrong you need a nice new mb.

Well I have another motherboard my grandpa found actually. He was working on this house after people moved out and they left a computer that only have a motherboard and a video card. I can't find any info on it... It's definitely made in china. But I can't identify it otherwise.

Nope, many people have lousy computers. Some of us even consider it lucky if you get 12 fps during seeker waves.
The difference between successful people from others is
not in the lack of strength,
not in the lack of knowledge,
but rather in the lack of will.

I presume these are IDE HDs. Did you set the jumpers on the drives to indicate whether the drive is a master or slave? You'll have to reset them on the existing drive too if it's set to something like "single drive" or "master no slave". Or if they're set to "cable select", do you have the appropriate (80 pin) data cable?
