I have an ABit BH6 AGP 2x. I understand that the new cards are AGp 4x. What does this mean to me? Can U use these newer cards on my system? Oh, my monitor is a 17inch 26 dpi (AOC 7GLR).

I also heard about the ATI RADEON All in Wonder, but many have reported problems with the install, including "experts". I havent heard the same about the GEFoRCE brands.

What card can work flawlessly in my system? I dont want unstability and I would ideally like to watch tv on it and do some video as well. I am running now an AGP XPERT 98 8 megs. Was thinking of either 32 DDR or 64 DDR?

Thanks

Any speed AGP card should work in any speed AGP slot. However if you put in a faster AGP rated card into a slower AGP slot you might not be able take full advantage of the card or you might experience some problems (as is the case with older motherboards and GF based cards). If you have no stability problems you don't need to worry because the performance is basically the same between x1 and x4 speeds.
