Video card question

[Hades-Knight]

Ok some AGP cards are 4x AGP and soem are 8xAGP.....what does this mean? How do i find out what my AGP slot is? 4x or 8x?

[Grav]

How old is your comp? That's the answer, pretty much. AGP 8x is basically the 'cap' that AGP will reach before they make a new version.

But if i buy an AGP 8x and my slot is AGP 4x will it work?

[Grav]

The card will only run at 4x, but yes it will work.

[Hades-Knight]

how do i know what my slot is ?

[Grav]

What's your motherboard name? How old is the comp? Is it a premade comp with a brand and model name? I'll look it up.

MSI 845 Ultra motherboard.....

[Grav]

4X.

IS SDRAM or DDR better?

[Grav]

DDR blows SDRAM away.

[Hades-Knight]

The yahoo thing won't work for me because it's based on cookies.

However, the Geforce 4 MX is *WORTHLESS* and should be AVOIDED at all costs. It's just a fancy Geforce 2.
