PCI or AGP low profile grapics card?
hi,
I have an old pc with:
Asus P4P8X (AGP 8x capable)
Pentium 4 @2,53 GHz
2GB RAM
Radeon 9600 Pro (256MB DDR AGP 8x)
I had a Sapphire HD 3450 AGP (512MB DDR2) before this Radeon 9600 Pro, but i broke it. Now I'm looking for a decent grapics card for this pc...
1) is a card like an HIS HD 5450 PCI fast as a Sapphire HD 3450 AGP 8x?
HIS HD 5450 has DDR3 memory and 650 MHz core clock, but PCI bus (cost 25-30$)
Sapphire HD 3450 has DDR2 memory and 600 MHz core clock, but AGP 8x bus
2) is a PCI 3.0 card compatible with a PCI 2.1 slot?
