hello,can you guys tel me how much AGp will my motherboard support?
my motherboard:
CPU Type Intel Celeron, 2033 MHz (20 x 102)
Motherboard Name Gigabyte GA-8VM533M-RZ (3 PCI, 1 AGP, 2 DDR DIMM, Audio, Video, LAN)
Motherboard Chipset VIA VT8751A Apollo P4M266A
System Memory 768 MB (PC3200 DDR SDRAM)
BIOS Type Award Modular (04/16/04)
Communication Port Communications Port (COM1)
Communication Port Communications Port (COM2)
Communication Port Printer Port (LPT1)
You'll need to use an AGP 4x (NOT an 8x) card for that machine. Given the stats of your system, I would not put more than a 128MB 4x AGP card in it as the amount of money SPENT on a video card with more memory would not be justified by the OVERALL performance of the computer. Also, that particular motherboard will not support 8x AGP CARDS. A good inexpensive CHOICE would be 64MB. What are you planning on doing with the machine, as that would indicate if you need a more demanding video card and/or system?Many AGP cards are compatible with both AGP 4X and AGP 8X motherboards. For example, see this. Also, the PRICE difference between cards with 128MB and cards with 256MB of memory is insignificant, so going with either would be fine.
