Thanks everyone.
I've actually ordered the X1650 so will let you know how it all goes.
The info from Paparazi was very useful indeed. One of the things I am finding with some cards is that the max resolutions apply to VGA and not DVI - so it's always wise just to check the max DVI resolutions...
The only spec I've got on the mainboard is:
Chipset type: Intel 845 DDR
Data Bus Speed: 400mhz
The spec does say 4xAGP, but I had been told elsewhere that 8 x AGP was backward compatible with 4x?
Thanks Tony
I don't know if I'm becoming 'blind' after looking at so many card specs, but I'm finding cards but they either quote high resolution specs which don't actually apply to DVI, or are PCI Express.
Dear all
We would like to upgrade 2 old PC's with a new video card to work with a flat panel LCD monitor and DVI.
The monitor requires 1920 x 1200 at 60hz as native resolution.
The older PC's work with 4 x AGP.
I have looked on many web sites, even bought a GeForce 6200 256MB DDR2 AGP DVI...
Thanks so much to you all!!
I used the win.old/boot disc solution and it worked like a dream.
Thanks to you, I have now solved my problem (or one of them at least :)
I hope to repay the compliment to you all sometime in the future.
