i was plannin on the other one neways, cause it got more ram, but the mobo has a 4x agp slot, so is an 8x card compatabile with a 4x slot?

It should, but it will run at 4x speeds. You also need to find out what the voltage is for that slot because some AGP cards used a different voltage, but unfortunatly I do not know what cards they are.

I'm sure someone on here (try the building high performance section) should be able to answer your questions.
 
bmxfreakrider,
You might want to do some thing about your video card. I was running HALO on my rig. (AMD Athlon 1700, GFMX420 64Mb, 512Mb Ram), and it was lagging on parts.

It was not until I changed the video card around where I noticed a difference.
 
wow, i havent been here in soooooo long, but, hey, just had to say, i did upgrade, got a mx4000 (128mb pci version), 768mb total ram, new hdd's new burners, hsf, soundcard, then the fan wire dropped on the video card, fried that and took the whole pc down. amasing, i think we should all go and look to see what our first post actually was. was in the off topic section, history of TF r sumptin, amasing how far this site has come, how many people have joined, and all the peeps weve met on here. just food for thought. go here-
 
6600 gt, you want to go cheap, there ya go, you'll get med to high on just about all games, well not w/ your setup, you need to upgrade everyting.
 
dude, i have to, the whole pc took a crap. planning on a 4200+, 2gb ram, 7900GT, 250gb hdd, etc.

lol, and dude, halo ran perfect on that rig, even with that card. even maxed out, got like 35-40 fps(1280*1024, all settings maxed), on min got like 65(640*480, everything disabled)(according to fraps)
 
O i had that problem before, just buy a Radeon 8000 series or better and your problems are fixed, but go hihg now so u don't have to deal with it later.

yep, thats the list i used when i bought my card. had 50bux, went to walmart, got a fx5200, gpu fried from a stray wire from a fan, so i rmaed it, they sent me a mx4000 that had even more power. go figure. yea im settin up my other pc right now, it was trash (or so i thought) didnt boot, blank screen, so it got thrown around my room, so for the heck of it, i grabbed the cpu from the closet, and watcha know, it works. its a 600 or so mhz celeron, and oced to about 733 with the cooling from a p4. so far its runnin very nicely, just havin some trouble bootin from the hdd, tho i think its the hdd, it boots from the cd. trying right now.....error loading operating system. eh it was a good shot, ill get it working sooner or later, the mobo has crappy ide support.
