I think is that AGP4X is not compatible with 2X, due to volate or sth...but I'm not sure, I might be wrnog

correct, that card will not work in that board.
get a new board, im sure you could find a decent celery board for 40 bux with an agp 4x/pro slot.

Long live ATI.

If you run a modern video card, you are also going to need to change out your power supply also.. 250 probably wont be able to get the job done. Good luck.

Yes, that card will work with YOUR board. We know that AGP8x cards are backwards compatable because Tom's tested the Radeon 9700 Pro on boards older than yours, even old Super 7 boards!

There are a bunch of guys who will lie to you about this. The reason is, they probably have it on their mind to convince you to buy a new platform.

Oh, did you know you can run a Celeron 1100 Tualatin at 1466MHz on your board, using a $20 adapter? Yep, you can keep that baby reasonably up to speed for some time yet.

Oh, your power supply could be a problem. I recommend a Fortron 350W power supply from Newegg.com for $32.

the Celeron T is a strangly fast CPU. its a P3 at 1ghz++ on a 100mzn fsb.

Yes, the only thing you have to do to make one perform VERY well is raise the bus speed (to get the memory transfer rate up). This is why I tell people to get a Tualatin Celeron 1100 and overclock to 1466, rather than get a 1400.
