better off with an agp card as it is upto 8x faster then pci & a lot more memory. which 1 in this link is your computer?

If you are trying to run the 2007 or newer version if inventor, you will be suffering with ANY AGP video card. Inventor 2010 crawls on a x1650...and that is about the best you will find on AGP.

It will overide it, though you could still use the AGP for a second screen.
