128mb ati radeon 9200 agp (2x support?)?

Question

Hey guys. I just needed some advice before I buy this video card. My computer is a compaq deskpro with 256 ram (witch i'm upgrading to the 700's soon with a 512mb ram). It has an intel pentuim 3 and right now is holding an old graphics card witch is an ati rage pro 8mb 2x graphics card. This graphics card says It supports 2x slots. So will it work with my computer? Is there aything I have to do to use it cuz' the system requirments dont stray to far from my comp. It's pritty much good, but I want to be sure. This for gaming. No i'm not getting a new computer. Heres the link to the page with the info on the card. Thanks guys!

Answer 1

That card should work fine, but I hope you're not paying $129.00 for it. You can probably get that card for half the price. Heck they have a bunch on ebay with a starting bid of .99 cents.
