What is the best AGP 2x card out there?

[davie23223]

I want to upgrade my pentium 3 computer witch has a geforce 4 mx-440se 64mb DDR AGP 2x, I want a way better video card than this but my computer only supports AGP 2x. What is the best 2x agp card out there, is it a geforce4 ti 4800se or a radeon 9200se, or something else?

you can use any agp card you can use agpx8 it will just slow down and go to x2

So your saying I can buy and 8x AGP card and it'll work? it will just slow down to 2x?

So what If I bought the BFG GeForce™ 6800 Ultra OC™ AGP graphics card, and a 500W PSU, will it still work on my Pentium III 450mhz with 256mb sdram?

dont know why you want want to do that, lol. It most likely wouldnt run, because it needs to meet certain requirements, such as CPU and RAM.

The card thats in there now shouldnt have much of a problem playing any game that can run on your system.

Depends, if its a 1X-2X slot, with the notch in the front, make sure the AGP card has the same!

One card has both, one has it in the rear

if you bought the 6800 you would just be wasting your money because you wouldnt get a quarter of the performance the 6800 is capable of because of the lack of cpu power and also RAM.
