Video card question

My PC can only support an AGP card up to 4x. So I when I was looking for a new video card, I saw some that say AGP 4x/8x, and I was wondering if one of those would work with my PC.

Here's an example of what I mean:

I'm not buying this particular card, it's just the first one I found with AGP 4x/8x

 

It will. It will just run at 4x speeds.

 

Odd... I figured that it would still function, just at lower speeds. It says that hte interface speeds are 4x and 8x so it should work on a agp 4x port.

 

After doing a little more research on the subject, I have found out that it will run with AGP 4x, but at a lower quality.
I think I will go with this card

Even if it doesn't go to it's full potential, it's still better than my Geforce 8400gs

 

If you want the best working on 3D application,,
i recommended to upgrade your AGP to PCI Express,, (so,you must change your computer)..(",)

 

I would, But I don't have that much money right now

 

the 8400 I'm running right now is a PCI video card, so the one I found would be better

 

im talking about this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161337

 

ok, I'll look for another one then

 

It'll be cheaper in the long run to upgrade your entire rig. I honestly don't see why you'd buy an AGP card when they're being phased out.

 

There's still some vague support out there, but I do agree we've moved into PCI-E territory. Honestly I don't see why anyone would bother trying to upgrade a PC with a board that uses parts that have been obsolete for five years. Best to save up, buy a new rig and go from there in my opinion.

 

My PC is a P4 built in 2003... But it's a Dell, and I know that you know how Dell can be when it comes to hardware

 

P4? Could be worse, but not much. Really, you're much better off saving for a new rig.

 

I had a laptop with Pentium 2 and I sold it for about 9$. how much worse is that?

 

Well, I'm going to have a small sum of money coming in fairly soon, I may use a bit of that for a new PC
