Topic awaiting preservation: Need help with graphics card info (Page 1 of 1)

I just bought a used computer from a friend of mine to go along with my laptop. I am planning on building it up to a gaming computer. The computer is a IBM Intellistation M-PRO 6868-32U with dual Pentium 3 733mhz processors and 1 gigabyte of RAM. The Sound card is ok for now but the graphics card is a measly little 16mb piece of crap. I want to replace this with a 128 mb GeForce MX 4000 and the system meets all the requirements, except that I don't know if it has an available AGP 2.0 slot. Can anyone tell me if this system even has AGP 2.0 and how I can tell if a slot is available?

1. don't get a geForce MX card. spend the extra 15 bucks and get the next card up.

2. darn close - BM IntelliStation M Pro (686830U) Workstation Pentium III 733 MHz, Processors Qty: 1, Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 SP5, 128 MB (RDRAM (RAMBUS)), 13.5 GB hard drive, Mini tower, CD-ROM, Video Interface: AGP 4x, For:PC system/systems

google works wonders...

The best graphics card fora cheap price is at best buy, it's a BFG Technologies 256mb geforce 5500fx Factory Overclocked. I got a geforce4 440mx 64mb Overclocked and it runs better than the 5200 Fig's talking about or the next step up from what he's saying. All depends on the company as to how well the card performs.
BFG Technologies, MSI and a couple others are pretty decent. Do NOT buy a PNY graphics card, they're cheap, don't perform well and generally are slower cards.

wait a month or so until the GeForce 6200 series is available.
it will be relatively cheap.

Or get a Powercolor ATi Radeon 9600 XT Bravo card, which is still out perorming most of the 9800 cards out there
