I'm certainly not the gfx card specialist (I will email this thread to Ruben_TC) but maybe a GeForce4 Ti 4600 (128 MB) AGP Graphic Card would fit the bill.

hi there,

Well, there are loads of 4x agp cards, and I cant say I know wich is the best of them. If you come up with a nice card, I can check it for you. You should the followings things:

1. Make sure its agp 4x
2. the memory, for example 16, 32 or 64 mb. More = better, this is important.
3. the core speed/memory speed, higher = better

I hope you can find a nice one!!!

Greetz,

RubenTC

Wouldn't a 8x AGP card just tone itself down to fit in a 4x slot?

Just wondering.

Hey Jones!

Well I have an AGP4x slot, and it doesn't really take every card!
But that doesn't mean it will never work.

Most 8x vga cards can also run at 4x , some also 2x.
