My friend has an HP computer and he wants to upgrade the video card so he can play some games. I looked up his model computer and HP.com says the machine has 8x AGP.
However, I ran the program "cpuz" and it reported only 4x AGP.
The motherboard model lines up with what the vendor says, so I'm not sure who to believe.
The guy gave me $60 to find him a good 8x 256/512MB card. he just wants to be able to play some older games, like Doom3, FarCRY, BioShock, etc. he has a 2.4Ghz AthlonXP with 2GB of ddr400 ram. Not the best, but it should play each game on moderate settings.
I'm just worried that if I buy a card off of eBay, and the machine really only has 4x AGP, it will be a waste, or not even work at all.
