Assuming that THIS is your video card, that one you linked should run @ AGP 4x...

on the PSU, personally, I would spend a few more dollars, and get THIS ANTEC PSU, or something else from the Antec TruePower series.

BTW does neweg take VISA check card?

chhorlimsgren · 07-10-2006, 05:50 PM

..thats a good question...im just gonna have to hope

Ethereal_Dragon · 07-10-2006, 05:52 PM

They should.... as the VISA check card is essentially a credit card with a limited balance... the only way to find out is to try it, unless you want to look through the FAQ.. I would say it will work though, as my debit cards (mastercard) worked on multiple purchases there...

If you can look at your motherboard and fing out the model number, we can look it up, and find out for you if it is truly AGP 4x...
