What AGP graphics card is compatible with AGP

AOpen S651M motherboard:

1) Processor Support:

Uses Intel processors that fit in a Socket 478 processor socket,

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socket_478

The Processor has the contact pins (478 of them), and the processor socket has the socket holes. (478)

The Maximum FSB supported for the processor is 533MHz.
(Front Side Bus, 533MegaHertz)

Processors supported;

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_pentium_4_processors#Northwood_.28130.C2.A0nm.29

Start with the Northwood Core models shown in the link above.
The ones that have a Front Side Bus of 533MT/s, and fit in a Socket 478.

The few shown in the next chart, Prescott (90nm), may not work. The voltage requirement.



2) Ram Memory Support:

DDR Sdram that operates at 333MegaHertz, or commonly known as PC2700.

TOTAL Maximum Amount is 2GB.
There are two ram memory slots. The Maximum Amount for EACH ram memory slot is 1GB.

If you only have one ram memory module ('Stick') place it in Slot 1. (DIMM 1)
This is the ram memory slot that is closest to the Processor.

[ The Processor 'sees' ram memory Slot 1 first ]


Graphics Card Support:

The graphics expansion slot on the motherboard is an AGP slot. (Advanced Graphics Port)
It uses the AGP 4X technology.

Above the 3 white PCI slots is the brown AGP slot.
Use AGP 4X/8X graphics cards.
(These types of AGP graphics cards can be used in an AGP 4X slot, or an AGP 8X slot)

Example of a AGP 4X/8X graphics card,

You will need to remove the fan first. Usually, if its a stock intel fan, there are 2 clips that lift up, then you will need to pry the edges out of the notches. Once you get the fan off, there is a little metal bar you will lift up to open the cpu holder and release the pins. Then lift the cpu up out of the socket.

You did not list the card specs (AMD/Nvidia model) for reference. If you don't have a card currently get the best AGP 8x card you can find. Keep in mind that that with that CPU a higher end card will probably bottleneck so don't go crazy. Some web consensus is a geforce 5500. Possibly a Radeon 7000 series for higher frames.

Here is a link to the drivers on your motherboard.
It requires a sign up (its free).
Watch that you only get the XP drivers.

Hope this helps.

HI Lau_kua08,

First off, your motherboard is a AGP 4x slot, and the Card is a AGP 8X card. However, NVIDIA based graphic cards which support AGP 8x mode (Accelerated Graphics Port) follow the AGP 3.0 specification. The AGP 3.0 specification retains backwards compatibility with older AGP 4x technology. All NVIDIA Geforce and Quadro GPU's which support AGP 8x mode are downwards compatible with AGP 4x motherboards. When a graphics card which operates at AGP 8x mode is installed on a motherboard which only supports up to AGP 4x mode, the card will automatically switch to AGP 4x operation.

So, yes it will work.

Good Luck,

Mark

hello, the 9600 graphic card his compatible if you are using AGP slot.

You have an AGP expansion slot for a graphics card.
(Accelerated Graphics Port)
It uses either 1x, 2X, or 4X graphics cards. Since the only AGP graphics cards out there are 4X or 8X, the 1X, and 2X are moot points. (They were also Junk anyway!)

Your AGP graphics slot only supports AGP graphics cards that are 1.5 volts. There are AGP graphics cards out there, that are Universal. Universal in that they will run as AGP 8X, (.8 volts), or AGP 4X, (1.5 volts)

This is an example:

Don't expect to play the high end new intense games with this. I'm afraid you'll have to update your motherboard, processor, ram memory, and a better graphics card to do that.

(Example? XFX Nvidia nForce 680i LT SLI motherboard, Intel Core2 Duo E8200 cpu, Corsair XMS2 PC6400 ram memory, 1GB x2 of them, (DDR2 at 800MHz), and XFX Geforce 9800GTX+, vid card. (Plus OCZ SteathXStream 600W power supply)
This won't break the bank, and will slam some games to the wall!)

Try to find out what the AGP voltage is on the motherboard.
Some graphics cards use 1.5 volts and some use 3.
If it's a 1.5 volt AGP slot and you plug a 3 volt graphics card in, it either wont work or you could permanantly damage both card and motherboard.

Before removing your current card swap video outputs on the PC. If currently connected to the VGA output switch to the HDMI connector AT the video card. Use the HDMI to VGA adapter that came with the video card. Check & see if the display loads Pc starts. Taking the information directly from your motherboard manual pg. 25, your AGP video can only run at, AGP supporting 1.5 V 4X AGP cards. The 9600pro runs at 8x & it is not backwards compatible. (able to run at either 8x or 4x). You could run the Sappire ATI Radeon 256MB 9550 DDR AGP 4x/8x 1.5volt card.
Here is one site: http://www.colordrives.com/sapphire-ati-radeon-9550-256mb-ddr-agp-4x-8x-video-card---retail-box.html
When you do get the video card be sure to set your bios AGP to the correct size as listed in your manual pg. 109 subsection 4.4.7
I hope this helped.

It appears that the mobo is AGP 8x, and this video card also appears to be AGP 8x - so you should be able to use it just fine.
