AGP question and how to select board

[lucky]

Looked up my old all in wonder radeon on ati's web site. Will it work on
the new ASUS boards that say 8x or even 4x? I notice they list voltages
for the 8x .8/1.5 and 4x 1.5v but I can't see anything in the AIW
owner's manual regarding voltages.

I didn't want to buy a new video card and would like to keep the one I
have. I hope my old hard drives are compatible I knew I'd need new
ram/cpu/mb but didn't want to fork out anymore $

# RADEON™ graphics processing unit (GPU)
# 32 MB of memory
# PCI or AGP 4X/2X universal bus
# Flicker-free refresh rates up to 200Hz
# VESA DDC 1/2b/2b+ monitor support
# Full OpenGL® and Microsoft® DirectX® support
# WDM DirectShow® compliant

Also is there ANY type of selector web page where I can enter my
requirements? On the Asus site I did see where they list the number of
usb etc, but I was thinking more of an interactive thing if one exists.

Thanks

It would have helped if you had stated what model of ATI card you have.

I have an ATI AIW Radeon 7500 and it works great on the A7N8X-deluxe
rev-2 mobo.

It is an AGP card and there is a bios setting to enable either a PCI VGA
or an AGP VGA. The default setting is PCI and I never changed it. I had
been using it that way for several weeks with no problems before I
discovered the PCI-AGP setting in bios. I firmly believe in the "If it
ain't broke, don't fix it" approach so I just left it set for PCI-AGP.

The web site listed the radeon alone but I will check the paper copy
when I get home to be sure it's just a plain old radeon.

I DID find a m/b selector, very cool

For the record, my old agp board works fine on the p4p800 deluxe. Well,
at least for the first few days after Christmas
