1.8ghz should be fine, really.

To clarify the original question, yes 8x AGP cards are 100% compatible with 4x AGP mobos. Also, do NOT drop school, making up for it down the line is much much much harder. Even a few months can throw you off track.

Motherboards that only support 2x AGP are not compatible with 8x AGP cards.

Drivers for ATI and Nvidia are written such that AF doesn't hurt framerates much either. Some prefer ATI's method though.

Next time look to your computer manufacturer's website and provide more details up front. ftp://ftp.ita.sel.sony.com/ccpg/pc/docs/desktops/pcvrx4xxds_tv.pdf Right-click, save target (3.3mb PDF file). All the specs on your motherboard (which supports 2x and 4x AGP). Uses RIMM memory...

Cyborg Adrian? *shiver*

Oh hell yeah, snag at least another 512mb of DDR Memory ($50-$75), and then maybe a Radeon 9500 Pro (depending on your budget).

Uh, hardware acceleration means that the video card does the hard work instead of your CPU.

Do you have a Sony Electronics VAIO PCV-RX490TV Digital Studio computer?

What's your budget?

That is an AGP 4x slot, yours may be slightly longer, then it is an 8x AGP slot.

Raw performance would be maybe 10%-20% over the 4800. However the 4800 doesn't support DX9 and doesn't handle AA/AF nearly as well as the 9500.

I did, don't change from 128mb. Don't believe me? Read this post: http://www.rage3d.com/board/showthread.php?threadid=33615889

What is anisotropic filtering? "Think of the text in the titles at the beginning of the Star Wars movies that is presented in large letters and then scrolls back into the distance. As it scrolls off, it becomes fuzzy and hard to read. In a 3D image, you may want a comparable effect to retain...

Negative. 128mb AGP Aperture is all you really need for one, it acts as a sort of buffer for your AGP card, but it hardly means your video card can act like it has 256mb.

Yes there are PCI Video cards if you don't have an AGP slot. Best way to check would be to find the manual for your computer to see if it does. Your second option would be to open the computer case, actually not that hard. With the case off, look in the lower left "quadrant" of the...

Yep, the 5200 only emulates DX9. The framerate would be unbearable.

Probably a wee bit too late to work it out, but given the new graphics, selling Half Life 2 along with the best mid-range video card suited for the game would probably encourage sales. Maybe make it the "Developer's Edition" (sort of like a Collector's Edition). Sell them for $250 a piece...

Thanks for clearing that up Jason, I'm still a bit of a newbie with modern-day assault rifle systems. I wonder how much those action figures will go for...

Official mod? Like an expansion? Because one aspect of HL2 I know they have avoided is that of squad oriented gameplay.
