Hi,
I have a Dell Dimension 8100, 1.3 GHz processor that currently has 32 meg of
video. I'm consider upgrading to something like a Radeon 9200 (128 meg) or
similar; however, my system's AGP is at best a 4x at 1.5 V. Does this limit
me in my selection of graphics cards? If a card is listed as supporting 8x
AGP, would I be wasting my time and money buying such a card, since I won't
see that level of performance?
Also, if a card's interface is given as 128-bit, does that relate to the 32
bit maximum connector data width of the AGP? Or does the one have no
bearing on the other?
As you can see, I'm a noob at this, so any input would be helpful. Thanks!
