Videocard buying and AGP Question

[Shoot_me]

New Videocard and AGP 8x need help

Hey guys,

I'm about to buy a new videocard but i'm not really sure if i'm about to buy the right things. Here's some info about my system:


AGP device
AGP Version 2.00
AGP Status Geactiveerd
AGP-device nVIDIA GeForce4 MX 420
AGP doorvoergrootte 128 MB
supporting AGP Speeds 1x, 2x, 4x
Actual AGP Speed 4x
Fast-Write Ondersteund, Activated
Side Band Addressing Ondersteund, Activated


I translated it from Dutch so sorry if i make any mistakes .

And here's the card that i'm about to buy would be the X800 Pro 265mb AGP version ofcourse . (http://www.hardwarezone.com/articles/view.php?cid=3&id=1422&pg=1) (that's a link to the X800 Pro 265mb AGP not really sure if it's enouf info about that card).

Now my question is would the X800Pro 256mb AGP work good on my pc?

Thx,
Shoot_me

Edit: Here another link (to a dutch site about the videocard too) http://www.4launch.nl/4launch.php?l...enter=shop/producteninfo.php?productid=003853

I think an X800 would be overkill for your system if you only have 4x AGP. A card like the 9800 Pro or 9600XT might be a better choice. What are the specs of your system?

It should work quite nicely on your system, even though it'll only run in AGP 4x...
You should see a big improvement compared to your current GF4MX!

You might be held back quite a lot with your cpu, but that means that you'll be getting AA and AF "free", since they primarily stress the gpu...

Mobo
CPU Type Intel Pentium 4, 2400 MHz (18 x 133)
Moederbordnaam Dell Dimension 4550
Mobo Chipset Intel Brookdale i845PE
Systemmemory 512 MB (PC2700 DDR SDRAM)
BIOS Type Phoenix (09/23/03)

2.4 gigahertz =) Should run pretty good right? I'm also planning into buying another slot of 512mb DDR ram... This should make my pc go to lighting speeds right? :angel:

yeah, 512mb of additional ram and that new card will speed up the system a bit
