Performance will be best in that AGP slot, and 4x agp perform very well, its almost no diffrense compared to 8x agp VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I put money in my PC it is almost always ram and VC. The AGP slot is dedicated to Graphics VC the PCI is the older way that most all internal components of the PC comunicate with the motherboard. If money is a real issue I would say get a high level 64mb ram card instead of a midrange 128, it will perform good and the diffrence in the 64 and 128 will probably not be noticed, anything the 128 will play the 64 will do ok on, but if you are looking for Doom 3 the 128 will not pull it top shelf anyhow. You may have a hard time even finding a 128mb VC that is 4x instead of 8x. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted December 30, 2004 CID Share Posted December 30, 2004 there is still kinda many manufactors that use 4/8 x AGP support if you look here i bet you find a card that suit you http://www.newegg.com/app/manufact.asp?catalog=48&DEPA=1 i suggest to use these filters Interface [AGP 8X/4X] Max price: [200] Keywords:[256-bit] if you dont like to spend 200 here is a good one for 135 bucks http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-133-106&depa=1 but if you have the money go for a Radeon 9800 Pro like this one for 198,50 bucks http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProductDesc.asp?description=14-142-009&depa=1 VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
