Youll be wanting an AGP 8x Graphics card and some PC2100 DDR memory (266MHz)

Find out how many free spaces you have for memory before you buy any

Yes it is only AGP 4x but 4x and 8x uses the same slot does it not and i also believe that you cant buy AGP 4x specific graphic cards anymore

have to watch the voltage on the card as it must be compatible to the agp slot voltage.

@SypherTek:

Sure ya can bud....there's still quite a few out there. TigerDirect has a few left over from that era, MX 400 cards, and Radeon 7000s.

its an amd 2000 and right now it only has 256meg with 32 of that being shared

she has xp but for some reason her comp boots and runs really slow and when i take a look at task manger usuage is upwards around 100 at least 90 and ive ran every spyware and antivirus that i can think of so im hopin that the ram and vid card will help out and i can get a gig for like 70 bucks from newegg so i thought hell why not and in the future she wont have to update it anymore cause that is all it will hold
