Thanks so much for your time!

You really shouldn't be doing any kind of HD video editing on a P4 AGP system but if you must then get a "Radeon HD 3850 AGP"

This is implying you have the power supply to run it, either way it will still be slow. AMD's crap E450 would do better than that P4.

There are some 3850's out there and some 4650's. You'd be better off finding a used on on Craigslist.

Here is the best new one you can buy:

Also, if you find a used one, here is the chart to compare:

Are you sure those card are compatibile with my system? I am running on 32-bit and can't use a PCI card...


Just check if they are AGP, your honestly better off buying or building a new desktop at this point. Also, the E450 and its derivatives(E2-1800,etc...) is used in small desktop PC's and you may be able to find one for cheap(a new desktop that is).

Wish I could, but I am a comedian who is both poor and dumb... I will have to just take the advice I could understand from this post (get a Radeon HD 3850 AGP video card) and hope for the best.

Thanks everyone!

Just be sure your current power supply can run that card, other wise you'll have to settle for something less power hungry. Id say a 400-450 watt PSU would be adequate.

Outdated indeed. Well if your going to use GPU accelerated decoding/encoding then a 3850 would make sense, if you can find one, but if not it won't make a difference. There is also the issue of your PSU possibly not being up to it, in which case I would recommend you look instead toward an nVidia 7600 AGP which you can find on ebay. The 7900s use a little more power though not as much as a 3850 AGP. Stay away from X1000 series Radeon AGP cards as they are not officially supported and you have to apply the AGP hotfix yourself. While I loved my X1950GT AGP it does eat a lot of power and getting the drivers to work properly was always a pain.

The bit-depth of the operating system and the bit-depth of the GPU shouldnt make a difference.

Does it matter if my RAM is DDR and the video card is DDR2?

It does not matter if your computer is DDR and the GPU is DDR2.
