Its an AGP card and you're fitting it into an AGP mobo. Simple as that

Yeha but this is doom were talking about..

Might try to put it into the dvd drive or something

And its not like it's some ancient Slot 1 mobo that only supports AGP 2X. Check if yours works with AGP 8X, it will be better, but if not, I bet the card supports AGP 4X too.

I'm sure it's a AGPx4 mobo. I was looking at this card at overclockers. it's going for £22 and i need something a little better for CS2. I'm going to upgrade soon so i'll need a card i can use with my upgrade as well.

I was thinking something like this
AMD Athlon 64 3000 Retail / Abit UL8 / 512MB GeIL PC3200 CAS2.5 Dual Channel Kit - Bundle (BU-011-OK) , don't really want to spend too much on a PC

If you're going to get new gear you might aswell go PCI-E unless you dont plan on upgrading after that for a very long while.

If you can, try and get 1gb of ram, pretty standard now although people building PC's now soemtimes put in 2gb

Yeah, I’ll be getting 2gig of RAM. I'm not bothered about PCI-E as I don't really want to spend much and I mostly use Macs now.

So, if I buy this card it will run in my current PC (XP2400 AGPx4 mobo still on SDRAM) and I can then move it over to the above mobo when I upgrade?

Yes it will
It will just run slower than its ment too

quicker than my fucking nail of a MX tho

indeed
plenty quick
get a nie jump when u get your new mobo then

nie?

nice
hand like feet...what can i say

lollercaust.

I've had my mx since my Duron 600 so I’m hoping to get something like a boost with the new one.

Cheers for the info DC, Toxic.

PS Toxic,

I'm thinking about selling my Canon 75-300 USM and getting this

AF 28-300mm XR Di LD Aspherical Macro IF f3.5-6.3

From what i've seen it's 'almost' as good as some of Canons L range

Shit. What drivers etc am i going to need?

Uh the newest from ati.com

Clueless ++

Btw, Why would you get the 9600 when you can get a 6600gt for like 100 bucks

Because I have a life and don't really care about computers that much, but thanks for the advise.

Its worth the investment.. even if you dont play "That" often.. something might come out that requires a bit more "umph" and youll be stuck with a thumb up your ass.. and since your upgrading, you should go for it :icon25:

Yeh i would go for the 6600 dude
Is alot better and u can pick em up quite cheap

I'm paying no more than £22. Is it as cheap as that.

Like I said, I use Macs more now.

Since I have your attention soap. This new mobo I’m getting is SATA and I only have two ATA133 HDs. Will it come with some sort of adapter, or will I have to buy a new HD? And what about my DVD burner and other CD drives? Fucking PCs, load of shite.

Forget it, I've found the answers.

Cheers.
