8X 4X AGP or PCI video card question?

Featured Replies

I want to upgrade my video card to a 128mb AGP type card. But after checking out my Intel Desktop D845WN motherboard specs. It has one AGP 4X/2X 1.5V connector. All the cards I see are 8X AGP.Will the 8X AGP card work with my motherboard?Is there a big difference in 4X and 8X?Can I get a 4X AGP 128mb card?Should I just get a PCI video card? I heard FS2004 does not like PCI cards.Thanks for the info.Danny :-beerchug

Danny, No unfortunately you mainboard cannot support 8x AGP. There are still 4x AGP cards available on the market for cheap prices, in Australia around $ 65 - $ 100.Not much different, just that the bandwith transferred from the mainboard to the card is higher than 4xYou still can get PCI graphic card, if I am not mistaken Tom Allensworth said that his PC have PCI graphic card, still work fine as he showed a Meljet 777 300 ER pics on FS2004 beta.You're best to go with AGP graphic card.

You can plug an 8X card into the 4X shot with no problems. I am running a MSI GeForce 4200Ti 128MB in a 4X slot. The card is downward compatible and will not use the 8X functions.Do not buy a PCI slotted card if you have AGP. That defeats the purpose of your computer having the AGP slot.W. Sieffert
