Hi,
I am currently in the market for a new graphics card. I know what one I want but I am alittle puzzled about the interfaces. I know i need an AGP card, but I don't know if my motherboard is AGP 4x/8x compatiable or not. is there such a thing as an AGP slot that is not 4x or 8 x? i am assuming this "4x/8x" refers to the AGP slots speed compared with the original AGP slot speed like with CD drives and their 48x speeds.
Can anyone tell me how I can find out what my motherboard supports?
Does anyone know when AGP 4x/8x slots were introduced?
If it helps my computer is a HP pavilion 722a, the current card i have now is a geforce4 mx420 and i want to get a Geforce 6600gt.
Any help would be appreciated.
