I've be told I should have an AGP vid card, that some games won't run without
it.. AGP is presently grey-ed out in my system. Does that mean I have to buy
another vid card with AGP? What is AGP? I have perfectly good RADEON 7000
64RAM. Must I junk it? What of 2nd hand, pre-owned vid cards?
 
That model can be AGP or PCI, depends what you choose to buy.

An AGP card need not be expensive.

Look at the latest models and then step back a model or two earlier.
They are pretty cheap and sufficient for playing games.

And if it's an AGP card but the AGP option is greyed
out then you might need to upgrade your chipset drivers.
That information is in the MFC app post I sent you. :-)
