Best AGP 4x Video Card?

I have a 4+ year old HP 864n Media Center computer with just a 4x AGP video slot. It came with a NVidia GForce4 MX440 video card and I was wondering what would be the best video card (around $100 or less) for this computer.|||check out www.newegg.com they have all of the computer stuff you would ever need! They still sell older agp cards too. Almost all 8x agp cards will "dummy" down to 4x so just find one in your price range. Check out some nvidia 6000 series cards or ati x800 series (those should be in range)



if you can find better ones get them! i think the nvidia 7000 series and above would be a little more than $100 though.

Can i put an 8x video card with a 128 mb to a 4x agp slot?

i have an ECS P4vmm2 motherboard, i want to upgrade my graphics since im using the built-in video card, i bought a 128mb AGP video card with a 8x speed, is it possible to run it smoothly on my AGP slot with only 4x of the speed? or will my AGP slot overheat and burn it?|||sure u can put it in a 4x slot since all cards are backward compatible..only thing is that the card will work at 4x speed not 8x..dont worry as far as AGP slot overheating is concerned...|||Look at this:

As I understand it, if the card fits, you can do that, and it will probably fit.|||Sure, you will just not get the *x performance that you want!!|||Well, first, what voltage is it!!! A guy in our PC shop blew up a NEW ASUS board AND the AGP Card, doing just that!!!



Always go to BOTH websites FIRST, and check with SUPPORT techs!

Will this video card work on a agp 4x slot?

will this video card work on an agpx4 slot heres link:http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3053804&CatId=933 and heres my specs because i dont know if my professor is good enofgh for the card:1.7ghz pentium 4,512mb ram.agp 4x slot|||Yes it should be OK, as AGP 8x is backwards compatible with AGP 4x. The FX5200 was one of the last cards to have 3.3v support, meaning that it's compatible with even the original 3.3v AGP 1x.

And the processor should be fine too. This is very old and dated hardware now, though. I really wouldn't bother, I'd upgrade to a newer system with a PCI Express videocard slot..|||it will work but will only run at 4x instead of 8x id recommend upgrading the system but to answer your question yes it will work|||No.

It needs an AGP 8x slot.

Do i have to use the AGP slot or can i leave it empty and use a pci video card?

well its pretty self explanatory. i have a board that requires a AGP 4x card (that i don't have), so can i leave it empty and use a PCI video card|||Your board doesnt "require" an AGP 4x card. It is there for the option if you want an AGP card in the future..



You can use a PCI video card without the AGP being occupied.



Note this tho...



This is different for each motherboard but... usually the onboard video(if your mobo has one) is AGP so when your computer starts up it will look for AGP and therefore nothing will show on ur screen unless you plug in the monitor to the onboard AGP... soo (go to ur bios and change AGP to PCI)



Obviously this maybe automatic/or different depending on your Motherboard..|||yh u can might need 2 change it in bios tho

If I were to buy a "TV ATI 4x Video AGP Radeon 9250 256MB DVI HI VGA Card" will it work with an AGP 4x slot?

Wondering which graphics card to buy.

I have an HP Pavillion 753n if it matters.|||With the proper driver, that card should work, but card is weak and quite outdated. I would rather recommend newer cards that have better HD video capability and support for latest Shader model. Consider the cheap ATI HD 2400 Pro or XT or the better performing HD 2600 Pro or XT. Just be sure to get the AGP variant.

Will a AGP 4x/8x video card work in a 4x AGP slot?

Does that mean that it will work with either a agp 4x or 8x?|||yes|||That's correct, it will work in either slot.|||Depends on your BIOS. Usually yes. Occaisionally AGP slots can be proprietary, but most mboards will step down the AGP card to the capabilities of the on-board BIOS. Pay attention to voltage required by your card and ensure your mboard will support through the required slot.|||Probably but there are limits to compatibility. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port|||Yes. check the BIOS settings.

Nikolas S|||YES ! Your BIOS should auto detect the type and speed of your card. Just install it and boot up, also check your device manager in windows to make sure its working OK.|||yes...you can adjust the AGP bus speed in your bios...

Will an AGP 8x/4x Video Card work on a motherboard that supports AGP 4x ONLY?

I know an AGP 8x/4x card says "4x" (of course), but maybe the 8x part will cause it not to be compatible? I'm no newbie to computer hardware, I rather be safe than sorry. Thanks!|||It should work fine. 8x/4x means it's 8x, but also backward compatible with 4x systems.



Cheers :)|||yes, it means it will work on eihter|||yes must work|||Yes as I have actually had an 8x AGP video card work in a 2x motherboard quite successfully.|||It works, it'll just be set max at 4x AGP.
