    yeah, welcome

    true, but, the last card is AGP X8 only & you need an AGP X4, some grfx cards & mobos support both
    - this card is compatible with both AGP X4 & X8 mobos

    - this card is compatible with AGP X8 mobos only & is not compatible with your mobo, as your mobo is only AGP X4 compatible

    nice one Adjudicator i'm only nit picking, please check that i'm correct :;

    The 3850 would be a MAJOR overkill for his machine. I would only recommend the 3850 AGP if you've got a 939 dual core proc. Single cores won't pull the full potential out of that card (which is quite impressive for an AGP card.)
