    The link below gives the specs on mb. It will accept an AGP Pro/ AGP4x. Which is better? Or is a PCI card better than the AGP? I couldn't find anything on NVIDIA, I want to get the best card I can that will fit this machine. Also can I link 2 PCI cards together?

    FYI: The mb is a ver 1.05. and I'm running XP.

    PCI card better than the AGP?

    AGP is better and faster.

    can I link 2 PCI cards together?

    No.

    Go AGP, I'd look for a Nvidia 6600 or 6800 with 256MB Ram. I don't think going above that would help much with our MOBO specs. EVGA and XFX are two brands that have never given me problems.

    So AGP is better, which one should I get? AGP Pro/ AGP4x?

    Thank you for the comments. I bit the bullet and bought a new system.
