alkatraz   10 #6 Posted February 18, 2008 If you are replacing the Radeon 9250 - if you want it to go to a good home, I'm looking for something of identical spec, but have no money to spend.  I have a media server that hasn't been booted in months because the next step requires a better graphics card than the 4MB S3 that's in it.  *alkatraz stops begging now* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Eric_Collins   11 #10 Posted February 20, 2008 you can buy a AGP to PCIe Adapter if you get stuck.  it's called an ATOP  http://www.matbe.com/images/biblio/cg/000000007573.jpg http://www.trustedreviews.com/images/article/inline/1441-bridge.jpg  It well may cost you as much as a PCIe card anyways.
