    Question Upgrading my Graphics Card

     
    After discussing with a few friends I decided I should get some final opinions to see if my decision will infact be it.

    Here are the specs for my computer....




    Now I was thinking of getting this....

    One of the problems I for see is that it is 8x AGP but my computer is only 4x AGP will this hinder it too much cause it says 2.0 AGP or better?

    The other is how do I go about finding the exact watts being used on my power supply?

    I also plan on getting 2x1gb ram instead of 2x512gb which should significantly help.

    edit *I should have at least posted my original grapics card 128mb Geforce4 Ti 4600*

    An 8x card will work find in a 4x board.

    Thanks ... I was worried that it would be too much to put into a 4x spot... should I worry about the required wattage required?

    By the way this is the card I am looking at if the link works.

    Or maybe even this one....
