Will a Gforce 4 MX 440, AGP card with 64 MB DDR ram work in AGP slot on Intel 815G chipset based motherboard?

[unbiased]

My friend has an ancient PC with Intel 815 chipset based motherboard and P3 866 Mhz processor. He is finding the vidio choppy while running movies.
To improve performance is it possible to use my old Gforce4 MX 440 based AGP card in the AGP slot of his motherboard? The card has 64 MB DDR ram. Will the motherboard support DDR on graphics card?

Any answers?

Yes, it'll work

Yes motherboards of that era had Agp 4x slots so any AGP 4x or AGP8x card will work.

the memory on the grahpics card is controlled by the graphics card, not the motherboard, so you have nothing to worry about.

The only issues he would have if he was trying to use an older 3.3v agp card with a newer AGP 3.0 motherboard but since it is an older 815 chipset he should be fine.

Interesting read on AGP compatibility
