I think for what you are looking for, you may be able to pickup an ATI radeon possible a 7500 for around that price. |

Geforce FX 5200. It's 100.00 bucks and a DIrectx9 card. Performs decently for the price. -- Well on the basis of this thread, the borg will have me, and they'll skip the IQ tests too! I should sign up! [text was edited by author 2003-06-21 12:03:31] |

@comcast.net | reply to Julio AGP 8X has 2.1GB/sec bandwidth. 4X has 1.07GB/sec. I think they are backwards compatible.
But I don't think it works with AGP 2X. AGP 2X uses 3.3 volts while the newer versions use 1.5 volts. |

  neutral faith in the future Premium join:2001-08-04 Ringgold, GA | reply to Julio Shouldn't be a problem. I'm using a couple of 8x cards in 4x slots here, as are others here. I'm looking for 4x cards for you anyway and I can't find many good ones so far.  |

not really, and definitely not with a low end card. It's limited to 4x regardless if it is an 8x. -- Well on the basis of this thread, the borg will have me, and they'll skip the IQ tests too! I should sign up! [text was edited by author 2003-06-21 16:01:46] |
