I am buying a 512MB AGP Card in two weeks time and just wondering if it will work ok with my board as it is 4 years old, but does have a AGP slot? Please reply soon.

Yeah. If you have an AGP slot you'll be fine.

I do not need an extra power supply do I?

What model motherboard is it and what wattage is your power supply?
Download CPU-z that will tell you what model your motherboard

Not to worry, because I read the instructions from the web the other day and it did not say that I needed a extra power supply cord, so anyway I am buying from KC Computers in hastings East Sussex. I will ask them just before I buy it.

BTW, the card that I'm buying is this: AGP Sapphire X1650 Pro 512mb which costs £47.00.

Is there anything else I need to know about before I install it?

I think you should look for a different card if you can, like the 7600GT or if you could get the X1950
The X1650 isn't a very good card at all

[PC WhizzKid]

No I don't need a top spec card, because all I play is racing games, but none are that new (oldest ones are possibly eight or nine years old and got them second-hand). All I need new graphics card is because I have Flatout 2 and Bus Driver possibly both games will run better on the new card than my present 64MB Card. OK?

[SocialWarfare]

Ok, the 7600GT is around the same price and performs loads better than the X1650!

Also KC Computers isn't that cheap
If you look here you can get the X1650pro for £38

Is the 7600GT Card AGP then, because if it is PCI-E then it is no good to me, because I have no PCI-E slot on my board?

Yes
You can get the X1650pro and 7600gt in both AGP and PCI-e, so be sure you pick the right one
