Are yaar this query belongs to The Graphic card sticy in Hardware section

Btw The only one i can suggest u is the Obvious XFX GEforce Fx5200 with 128MB VRAM Costing round 2.5k-3k at the most

Btw the Diff is Very Less compared to PCI in terms of games frame rates to be much more precise

Plzz post in the approp section next time

Well, as far as I know, the i845GL series does not have AGP support.
*support.intel.com/support/graphics/intel845g/sb/CS-009073.htm

The main advantage AGP cards have over PCI cards is their amount of bandwidth and the ability to offload a major chunk of graphics processing at fast rates to the GPU. Remember that you will get literally very little performance boosts in even pre-2003 games at the lowest possible graphics settings with a PCI card. If you're a gamer, consider upgrading to a motherboard that supports AGP8x/PCIe rather than wasting money on a PCI based video card. I remember seeing a PCI based GF2 MX card for around 2.5k and DKant was telling me about a Radeon 92xx card for around 4.5k. Dont even think of spending that money on a PCI card that wont even get you half as much performance than a cheaper priced FX5200.

ya enoomnai is completely correct
intel 845gl chipsets do not suppport agp cards

i have tried agp 4x as well as agp8x cards on my 845gl but they do not work

i 845gl supports pci video card but they are not of any much help to improve performance
