Title: Question Concerning AGP Cards
Post by: Cipher on April 27, 2006, 07:54:35 PM

Glad I found this place, 'cuz I do have a pressing question that I feel silly for asking about...but it's never come up until now.

I currently own an eMachines T2200 (See Sig)...bought it because I needed something quick and cheap, seeing as how I'm saving up to build one from scratch. And so far, it's a decent rig, save for the Integrated Graphics Card.

It has an AGP slot, only it's 4x. I want something that I can game on...and most cards are 8x. But I've seen some cards that are written out as 4x/8x. Does that mean that it fits into the 4x slot as well as an 8x? I thought the T2200 came packaged with a PCI-E, but sadly that is not so, and I'm reluctant to buy a PCI standard card.

Thanks folks!
