My Mobo's user manual states that it's AGP slot is 66MHz 32-bit channel and supports 4x/8x speeds. Also it requires a 1.5v card. My question is Does that mean I am restricted to a 32 bit card? Because I haven't found any. All the cards I find are 64-bit and up. For example; 128MB 64-bit or 256MB 128-bit. I know the card I have now is 128MB 32-bit. Is a 64-bit card compatible with a 32-bit interface? And how does the 66MHz restrict the card I can upgrade to? Any help would be appreciated.

now you're mixing different channels...
the 32bit agp slot has nothing to do with the 64/128/256 bit memory channel on the card thats between the gpu core and the onboard memory.

So basically any agp 8X card should work just fine. :)
