ATI 8500, 9100, 9200 should all work fine. Keep in mind the k7s5a
only supports AGP4x, so an 8x card will not be fully taken advantage
of regarding agp bus speed capabilities.

But yet nothing really stretches the AGP4x bus anyway. The OP can use any
AGP8x card, and there will be no real loss in performance.

? Now why would there be an 8x technology if it were no faster than
the 4x mode?
