New graphics card - suit my AGP slot?

Hello

I have resigned myself to the idea that my S3 Savage 4 card will not permit MOHAA and other games to be displayed. So I am considering buying another video card. SiSoftSandra says my AGP Bus is running version 2.00. QUESTION: Does this mean that any decent video card will have to state that it will only run on 2, or can I use a card that states '4' in its' spec? Sorry, no furhter data on my mainboard available. Thank you in advance. teemro.

The 2.00 you're talking about is the AGP bus revision, or version, as you want. The 4 you saw is the multiplier, in fact, it's 4x. The AGP 2.0 will support almost every recent graphic cards like Geforce 3.

Hope this will help you

Thanks

It does, thanks. I'm much better informed about the agp slot and hope to try a new card soon.

Thanks again.
