not the ram on the card but the voltage for the card could stop it from working on the board. older agp slots used 3 volts compared to newer boards of 1.5 volts. what is the make & model # of the motherboard & videocard?

No I just bought the card and looked up the computer on hp.com and it said 8/16/32mb cards so I wanted to find out if that was it and I didn't want to open the card if it wasn't going to work.
