Quote:The RADEON 9500 128MB DDR AGP8X TVO + DVI (OEM) is a big step up at Can$205.00. you could go totally loony with the RADEON 9800PRO 256MB DDR AGP8X TVO + DVI (OEM) at Can$608.00.As far as I know, the ATI cards are still compatible with AGP 4x, in fact they should operate in any AGP except AGP Pro (an Intel spec that never caught on).
Even if they were to operate in an 4x AGP slot, I think those higher end cards are really designed for 8x or 32x AGP slots.
My mention of the 9800 Pro wasn't a serious recommendation. Just nice to see what a hundred bucks will get you in a year or so. :)
