nVidia GeForce 7600/7900 AGP

**vesther** · May 26th, 2007, 09:07 AM

I currently have the following apparatus:

* Intel 848P Chipset
* AGP 8X Slot
* Hanns-G HW192D Monitor connected via VGA
* nVidia GeForce FX 5200 VGA 128MB
* Asus P4P800S Motherboard
* 1GB PC3200 DDR RAM
* Turtle Beach Rivera Audio Card
* Motorola PCI 802.11g Wi-Fi Card

I was considering moving to one of these video cards
* nVidia GeForce 7600GS AGP8X 256MB
* nVidia GeForce 7600GS AGP8X 512MB
* nVidia GeForce 7900GS AGP8X 256MB
* nVidia GeForce 7900GS AGP8X 512MB

Reason for upgrading the video card: LCD Display (obvious), DVD Movies are choppy with the GeForce FX 5200 Video Card, prefer to connect via DVI instead of AGP. I usually play Need For Speed Most Wanted (animation is choppy with GeForce FX 5200).

Do you think the Intel 848P Chipset would support any of these GeForce video cards? I believe that the motherboard I have supports up to 2GB PC3200.

Please advise. Thanks.

What cpu are you running? I'm also running an 848p chipset.

Intel Pentium 4 HT 2.8GHz Socket 478.

Sorry if I didn't say so on the spot.

I'm running the same CPU om the same chipset and i'm using an x800pro. I would suggest going with a 7600gs (preferably a 7600gt if you want better performance in game)

And the 848p chipset does supports up to 2gb pc3200, alas, only in single channel.

What psu is in the rig?
