What is the best graphics card guaranteed to be compatible with an AGP 1x/2x slot? (I know this is an ancient machine.)

According to the compatibility section of the wikipedia page pertaining to the AGP interface
( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port ) some Nvidia Geforce 6200 agp cards are compatible with 1.5V agp slots. I'm currently using a 1.5V 4x card with exactly the same male connector as the 6200. Will this card be compatible with my motherboard. Please don't lecture me on how old this system is I have several modern machines capable of gaming. I want to improve this older one for the retro cool effect. Here is the 6200 I really want to buy.

What 1.5V 4x card are you currently using? Based on the Wiki, that card should not actually work, but I guess, as long as it has the 3.3V key in the pin layout, I guess the new 6200 should work.

I'm using the Nvidia geforce mx 420. I know it's a 4x card card because in GPU-Z it says it is a 4x card running at 2x speeds.

Nevermind I bought a cheaper geforce fx5500 which i just confirmed on some ancient forum that is compatible with the agp 1x slot. It only has half of the memory as the 6200 but i'm sure I woldn't notice the difference seeing as this computer is a relic of the days of old.
