602029 2007-10-16 05:19:00 ASRock P4i65G motherboard with AGP expansion slot, this board has Integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 2, question - can I fit another graphics card to improve the system and if so what do you recommend?
Thanks

602030 2007-10-16 05:22:00 Do you own this motherboard - or are you just looking at it?

But yes, there are still AGP cards available new - and if there is an expansion slot - you can use it.

602031 2007-10-16 05:44:00 Ive got the same mobo here.

The onboard is ok but has a max of 96mb. If youre not worried about this, there's nothing wrong with the onboard video. But according to the Asrock site, its DirectX 8 not 9. So may not take advantage of whatever DirectX 9 has to offer.

I just chucked an ATI DVI AGP 256mb card in it.

Its fine.

602032 2007-10-16 06:46:00 What are you trying to achieve with this new video card? If its just simple 2D work then something like a Radeon 9550 would be sufficient, if your gaming then the X1950XT is the best card you can get on the AGP bus.

If your a gamer it would be time to seriously consider a full system upgrade, any money you spend on that system is a waste as any new parts cant be carried to a new system.
