    You can't "physically remove the onboard card".  Onboard means it's integrated into the motherboard.  You may need to access your BIOS and disable the onboard video, or it may be automatically disabled when you install the AGP card; depends on your motherboard.

    Any card rated 4x or 8x should work.  For more info, see http://www.directron.com/15agpguide.html

      try a geforce 6800XT AGP version. I think thats about $80. (Maybe not, though)

      AMD Athlon 64 3200+
      1024MB DDR400
      GeForce 7600GS

        Hey guys so I bought this video card:
        http://www.videocardshop.co.uk/product.asp?session=@@@@@@@@@@@@AQYHFR189685-0UTCQS@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@&prodid=PV-T43D-UAF

        And It doesn't physically fit into my PC. I'm guessing it's because you need a 2.0 or higher AGP slot and I only have a 1.5 :( (I realise how stupid I've been now).

        I'm going to try for a refund but I suspect they'll only give me credit. So basically I'd just like a recommendation of the best video card from that particular site for my PC. If someone would be kind enough to recommend the best one.
