I'm thinking to buy a new video card which requires AGP 4x or 8x
support. However, I'm not sure whether my PC's motherboard supports
AGP. It was bought about 5 years ago and the vender was already out of
business. The CPU is AMD Athlon. Thanks. Jonathan

goto ur device manager and look at ur system properties
look for an agp port property tag
if it doesnt have 1 then u r out of luck and need to upgrade ur board b4 u
buy the card

device manager is found by right clicking on my computer and it is stuated
in one of the tabs there.
depending on ur operating system which u havent stated.

It isn't in the device manager.

It's much simpler than that. The motherboard support AGP if there is an
AGP port on it. It is a PCI-like brown connector, at the end of the
line of white PCI connectors, and a little misaligned.
