lol, AGP 1.0 :D
I would have to suggest a mobo upgrade. Short of that, any PCI video card should work since most are backwards compatible. Any card you get will be limited by the bus and you won't see the performance that you paid for because of this. Motherboards are pretty cheap now, you should be able to find a compatible board for cheap even one that has an real AGP slot.
i run a p4 2.53 on a GA-8IHXP with 512 pc1066 kingston rdram and a geforce4 ti4400...
so really its not that funny, this is a computer i have just layin around use to file share ect
was thinkin bout cheaply making it a better performer thats all
:D
By the way how much do you get out of that p3 , does it have a real
chipset :D you should throw a 1.4ghz chip in it and go to 1.5....
sorry had to
Any card except for a GF4ti will run on AGP 1.0 Not sure about ATI's 9500+ series but either of these high end card would be wasted on a 500.
I think a radeon 9000 would be a good fit. Plenty of power for the K6II. Its DX8. Its cheap and it should'nt chew too much juice. Voltage drop is probably the main concern since the older CPU's like the K6 run on the 3.3v rail along with the video card and ram.
Trying to realistically see a Radeon 9000 run well on that.
THe K6-ii probably has the power or those first celerons. Thus, an original Radeon or a GF2 at best.
thanks for the input I have A geforce4 mx440 that isnt being used got it while the ti4400 was in the shop ,I wasnt sure if i would risk puttin it in and booting
