will my motherboard handle this Graphics card?

[crywolf1337]

Well to start with i have a Foxconn P4M800P7MB motherboard i know its very old lol. But atm i dont have the funds to buy a new desktop .

i have a radeon 9250 128mb AGP card. (i got this for free off a buddy) i was useing onboard card for years lol.

the card im looking to buy is a : Sapphire RADEON HD 3450 Graphics adapter - 512 MB - DDR2 SDRAM

but im not 100% sure if it will work with this heep of s**t lol

i have about a 50GBP budget and this just fits into it perfectly.

so will it work or not ?

it should, your board its AGP 8x, The graphics card runs off of AGP 8x. so you should be fine....whats your PSU by the way??

your in the wrong country for PC parts lol, but yea thats the best one i could find that would ship to you, and a new desktop with even onboard graphics and a PCIe slot to upgrade later would be

you should run it fine then, buy away.

 

[cycoextreme]

no i was just sayin, maybe for later, just a though to save up for next time, b/c the card you are buying is the best AGP card i could find for you that you could get

Just thought I should tell you, the 3450 is TERRIBLE at running games. Your games still lag even on a low setting. I have the 4250 which is the higher one above, and it runs terribly. I recommend getting a better graphics card.

like ? thats like the best AGP ones i could find lol

AGP is a dead format, they are expensive because nobody makes AGP cards anymore. I wouldn't waste money on buying ANY sort of AGP card. Every $ you spend on it is a $ you could be putting towards a new PC.

What rish said. Save yourself the money for a new computer.

just look around, people sell some things for better than what you got for cheap, id say for you as long as it has or can fit a PCIe card in it and has onboard graphics just get it
