if you can find the program cpuz it will tell you what kind of graphics interface you have. I'll try to find it.

Get it here: http://www.cpuid.org/cpuz.php


run it and then click on the motherboard tab and at the bottom it will tell you your graphics interface (agp or pcie)

I think that board has AGP

The 7800 series are not compatible with AGP if I remember correctly.

Your motherboard has an AGP8x slot, no PCI-express.

I'd say the 6800GS would be a good card to consider for you:

the all in wonder X800XT is the best AGP since it has 16 pipes and is 256 bit interface. runs for about $260 i think

the GS posted above is very good too, though i don't like the 42 architecture which makes 16 pipes impossible to unlock...

Yo how about the Nvidia 7800 GS, it is the best AGP card out there. But it might be a little expensive. Search around for a good price.

7800GS - $269 after rebate. higher clock speeds than X800. same price I believe though, maybe $10 more.

I have the same motherboard and recently upgraded my card from FX 5900XT to a Gainward GeForce 7800GS "BLISS" 512MB. The (second) fastest AGP card out there. You americans get things so cheap!
