Need nVidia AGP card for Intel

[rocketeer]

I'm not familiar with nVidia cards. I need a good one that can run on intel and AGP mobo. I checked nvidia's website and it lists those that can run on AGP, like the 7800 GS, but how do I tell which ones run on Intel? Thanks in advance.

Intel would be the CPU and would not make a difference. Just make sure that your motherboard has the right socket for the Intel chip, the AGP slot, and supports the RAM you're going to use.

 

You might want to do a Google search on the basics of building a PC.

 

Also, if you list the parts you have in mind, we can tell you if everything is compatible.

I am not sure if I understeand you, but every AGP card runs on intel I think. I got NVIDIA 7800GS, not bad card but it si not so good as ATI - if you like to use FRAPS.

What makes you think your video card has to be compatible with your CPU? It doesnt. Just make sure you really do have an AGP slot on your mobo, which I'm sure you do.

 

The 7800GS is about the best AGP card you can get. It perhaps is NVIDIA's last AGP card on the line.

I'll say the same. It makes any difference which CPU You use. I have 7800GT but PCI-E version in cooperation with AMD64 3200+ and works fine.

Thanks guys for your input. I had, I guess, the wrong impression, as someone told me before that you need AMD chip to run nVidia cards, and I have Intel chip and currently an ATI AGP card, 9800XT. I also read it in a magazine that if you have Intel chip you have to run ATI card. Guess that was wrong again.

 

If the graphics cards are independent of the chips then that's great. I am thinking of switching to nVidia because I'm thinking of getting the triplehead2go, which unfortuately doesn't work well for ATI cards, but it works for a long list of nVidia cards.

I have no idea what magazine you're reading, but whoever wrote it obviously had their mouse stuck up their butt.
