video card

[pesid]

hello,
I there any issue in order to set a Agp x8 vga card
on a motherboard which supports Agp x2/x4? I have
to replace the existing GeForce 4 MX with a GeForce
FX 5200. Are they both use the same Agp slot?

thanks
pesid.

It should work (providing your motherboard and power supply are
adequate, which they likely are since it doesn't use much more power),
but is a poor upgrade if "upgrade" was your goal. The FX5200 is
pretty slow for a modern video card, you might be better off with a
Geforce 3, Geforce 4 TI 4200, Geforce FX5600, or Radeon >=9500.
