MaestroHey, welcome to the Seven Forums.
Everything but the FX 5200 shown here, Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Video Cards & Video Devices, Desktop Graphics Cards, AGP 4X/8X
has full Windows 7 support. the problem isn't the video card but the motherboard and what chipset is on it, and whether the chipset has a proper working AGP driver. Without that it doesn't matter whether the video card has Windows 7 support or not, as without a working AGP driver the video driver won't install. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me OS Win 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Phenom II x4 955 @ 4 GHz.

Thanks for the link! I'll see where I can find one of those here in Quebec. I didn't have the time to look if there are some drivers for Win 7 for those cards, are they?
My motherboard is a SuperMicro P4DC6+ http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/860/P4DC6_.cfm
I already have an ASUS V7700TI AGP video card but I can't find the video drivers for Win 7. What I mean by supported is to be able to have the drivers that are fully compatible with Win 7 of coarse. I'm using the 32-bit version of Win 7 on this computer. You can find all information on my motherboad on the link above.
Thanks! | My System Specs | | |

My GeForce FX5700 AGP will work on both 7 and 8, but you do need to fiddle with the drivers.
From memory, I used the Vista driver from the Nvidia site. | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Acer Aspire Ethos 8951G OS Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit CPU i7-2670QM @ 2.2/3.2 Ghz Motherboard Acer Memory 8 Gb DDR3 Graphics Card Ge-Force GT555M 2 Gb Sound Card Onboard w/Dolby 5/1 Hard Drives 2x750GB onboard. 640GB pocket drive, 1x2TB Seagate external, 1x500GB Seagate external. |

From memory, I used the Vista driver from the Nvidia site. I have tested the drivers for XP in Win 7 32-bit, it works not too bad except that there are some little glitch when a window is opened and closed. So I believe it's not a good idea to use those drivers. I'm really looking for a video card and a driver set fully compatible with Win 7 32-bit. | My System Specs | | |

Anything from the following will have full Windows 7 driver support,
1. AMD/ATI - HD 2xxx, HD 3xxx, HD 4xxx
2. Nvidia - Geforce 6xxx, 7xxx
The fun part with those cards is that in a lot of cases they cost more than the computer they would go into is worth. If you can find one used it helps, but the prices for new make it a less than desirable "upgrade". | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Me OS Win 7 Ultimate x64 CPU Phenom II x4 955 @ 4 GHz.
