Ok, Right now, I have a 2 years old computer. I am looking into upgrading my video card, and I decided on the All in Wonder ATi Radeon 7500. I want to be-able to watch TV on my computer, have TV out, and have a RF remote. I don't play games, but I will play VCDs and DVDs on this computer. So, I was wondering if my motherboard can handle the video card I picked. The Radeon has a 4x AGP slot, but I don't know if my computer has that.
Motherboard: <FONT face=Tahoma>Asus P3B-F (440BX)
CPU: P3 600
Current Video Card: Diamond Viper V770 (based on the Nvidia TnT2).
Soo, do you think my motherboard will be able to handle the AiW Radeon 7500? Will it just not be as fast? Any comments / suggestions are greatly apreciated

The Asus P3B-F supports AGP 2X, which is also supported by the AIW 7500...should be fine. There would be no difference betwwen AGP 2X and 4X on your rig, and you are definately CPU limited. The AIW 7500 is an excellent choice for what you want to do, however timeshifting and video capture will be compromised on your system.
