Don't waste your money on that card. While it has 512 MB of memory, the rest of the specs are garbage.

Even if you were to get a decent graphics card, your processor is going to clog everything.

ah k..and one more question, does all processors fit in the agp x8 motherboard?

[shenanigans]

No. You'll likely have to upgrade your system from the bottom up if it's that old (still with AGP 8x).

Ah k..so i guess i'll just buy one for the other comp =/
thanks for the answers..

I say get a better heatsink &amp; fan and OVERCLOCK THAT PENTIUM 4!!!!!!!!!

you can get a better P4 thats 3.2 GHZ that will bring you up a bit and you can also upgrade your video card a little to a HD3850 AGP b/c its the best AGP card out ever.
