Vogons,
I'm looking to replace my 16 Mb. 3Dfx Voodoo 3 2000 AGP graphics card. I'm interested in a card that supports DirectX 9.0c and T & L. Some video controls similar to 3Dfx Tools would be nice as well. I'm not sure if I should get an nVidia card or go with an ATI.
I can get an XFX GEFORCE FX 5200 (AGP 8X, 256 Mb., etc.) for under $100 (USD). The reason that I'm asking, is because I'm a little confused about: AGP, 2X AGP, 4X AGP, 8X AGP. As far as I know, I have a plain AGP slot on my mobo. (BIOSTAR M6TZA, w/ PENTIUM III 450 MMX).
However, it is an 8X AGP card. Is the interface speed critical when installing this card in a AGP slot? 😕
