| 58422 | 2002-06-29 12:54:00 | Hi I am looking at getting a Gforce4 soon and was unsure if first, it would fit in my AGP slot. Currently I have a NVIDIA 8mb Vanta (AGP). And second would it work. (I know it won’t be as fast as a new AGP slot.) I think my AGP slot is 2x. Thanks. Thelaw. |

| 58423 | 2002-06-29 13:20:00 | I can't see why it wouldn't work?, as long as it is an AGP slot you are talking about. What sort of Mobo/CPU do you have? | Dragonslayer (512) | ||
| 58424 | 2002-06-29 23:14:00 | it depends on your cpu a bit if it will be worth buying a gf4 or save your money and get a gf2. you can only go as fast as the slowest componant. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 58425 | 2002-06-30 09:05:00 | what speed cpu are you running it may not work in a 2x agp slot I recommend you stick to a 32 meg Gforce 2 be a lot cheaper as well unless you want upgrade your whole system | kiwibeat (304) | ||

| 58428 | 2002-07-02 06:22:00 | not if it is a agp 2x i tried to replace my vodoo 3 2000 on my old PC with a gforce 256 wont fit in the agp 2x slot . take your graphics card to the shops and compare the number of gaps to the one you intend to buy . may be time for a total upgrade. |

| 58429 | 2002-07-02 07:05:00 | the slots are the same from agp1x up to agp8x. the only difference is if you get a pro card which needs a agp pro slot (longer slot for more voltage connections i think) there was problems with the g 256 due to the huge amount of power it consumed. | tweak'e (174) | ||
| 58430 | 2002-07-03 06:38:00 | the card i am looking at is: Gainward GeForce4 Ultra/650 XP video card, 128MB DDR, GeForce4 Ti4200, 4XAGP, TV Out, Video In, DVI, Golden Sample it does say it supports AGP 2x/4x -- { AGP 2X/4X AGP support and easy Plug-and -play AUTORUN installation From CD-ROM include. } and ill will be upgrading my PC when i have the cash ie 1 year. (motherboard,CPU) thanks. |

| 58431 | 2002-07-03 06:55:00 | there is a reason people have asked what sort of system you have. the reason being is it may be a waste of money to buy such a nice card without upgradeing cpu etc and also there is a few other things that can stop your video card from working. | tweak'e (174) | ||
