Comment:

I have an AGP 4 motherboard and, Radeon 9250 video card installed in that system, can I get a better video card for the same motherboard in another meaning what is the best video card that supports AGP 4x motherboard ? Not for Windows Aero but, for games that needs higher pixel shader or that needs more performance. Thanks.
By the way My PC is P4 2.8GHz and 1GB RAM. Using Windows Vista Ultimate.

These cards don't support an AGP 4x motherboard chip it's AGP 8x.
Thanks.

Look again...they support 4X/8X AGP. All 8X AGP cards are backwards compatible with 4X AGP. For example, look at how the product description is written for this Radeon X1950PRO:
HIS Hightech H195PRF512DDAN-R Radeon X1950PRO 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 AGP 4X/8X
BTW, for better gaming, go back to WinXP.

BTW, virtually all 0.8V -- AGP 3.0 -- compliant (AGP 8x) cards that you are going to come across out there WILL work in a 1.5V -- AGP 2.0 -- compliant (AGP 4x) motherboard because of the backwards compliance standard of the interface.

Thank you, Windows Vista is good enough for my PC gaming but, video card AGP 4x isn't compatible with all games. I'll search for ATi Radeon X, but, they are very rare here in Kuwait.
