Video card compatibility question for the good old K7M mobo

[mrtanderson]

I want to upgrade my card from an AIW Radeon to an MSI Geforce4 4200 64MB. Anyone have this video card (or similar) with the k7m? Thanks!

I think your MOBO will be a big bottleneck. Isn't the K7M limited to K7-1000?

You may get more knowledgeable people to reply if you post this in the Video Forum.

Just in case anyone came back to this thread:

Decided to take the chance and buy a MSI G4 Ti4200 64MB VIVO from Newegg. It works great! I get 5000+ 3DMark right out of the box (double compared to the radeon aiw). Stable at AGP 1x, trying to get it to go to 2x but the 'enableirongate2x' registry mod doesn't seem to work. If anyone has suggestions I'd appreciate it. Thanks.
