video card

no, it is AGP, I have an AGP port(2x/4x), anyway what's the difference between them both?

Difference between what? AGP and PCI? AGP is much better for graphics cards. Go on Newegg and browse for AGP 2x/4x video cards and see what you like.

i wanna get a 256mb videocard, i searched at Newegg, and there is none with AGP 2x/4x. in this case would you recommend a PCI card?

 

[woot7800GT]

I wouldn't recommend a PCI graphics card unless you didn't have an AGP slot. It appears the best choice for you would be this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814129045

is it a good gaming card, cause i wanna play the new prince of persia, and f.e.a.r.

 

[woot7800GT]

It's not a good gaming card, but neither are any of the alternatives. You will not play FEAR on any PCI graphics card (rather, you wouldn't WANT to). AGP 2x/4x is marginally better than PCI by my understanding and the card I recommended is the best your going to be able to muster with your current platform unless you want to buy a new motherboard, which you'll want to do eventually of course.

so what you are saying is that if i want to play FEAR it's better in an AGP card, but if I want to I need a new motherboard with more than 2x/4x

 

[woot7800GT]

If you buy a new motherboard, get one that's PCI-Express, it's better than AGP.

actually i think 8x agp's are backward compatible to 4x...so u can get an 8x agp but will only run at 4x

are you sure, cause if thats true, i have more options, right?
