Maybe or maybe not. I had a 5834 that you had to flash the bios to use an
ATI card. "Dreamspinner3" wrote in message ... Would any brand 16mb AGP work in this PC then? ----- Kim/Dreamspinner3 Visit My Homepage: http://members.tripod.com/dreamspinner3/ |

The memory size is not an issue. You could use a 32, 64 or 128MB card if it
is AGP 2X/4X compatible. Most ATI Radeons are 2X/4X compatible even if they are also 8X. A few GeForce cards have this backwards compatibility. There may be a patch SoftPaq for some cards on the HP/Compaq website. HH "Dreamspinner3" wrote in message ...

As I said before, I have a nVidia TNT2 M64 AGP with 32MB video card
but I don't know whether or not it is 2x/4x compatible and I've read that this PC's motherboard won't provide enough power to this video card....

The power problem is with newer GeForce cards. The TNT2 is an older AGP 2X
card. The 5852 has plenty of power for it. HH "Dreamspinner3" wrote in message ...
