[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??

[cycoextreme]

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

[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
