GeForce FX 5500 256MB AGP Video Card

I am never sure cause I had a bad experience when I first built my computer
with an AGP video card in it. I know the P4B only supports AGP 4x at 1.5 v
and this always throws me when checking out cards that say 8x and stuff. I
now have a GeForce4 Mx PCI card and am looking to upgrade in the $100-$150
CAN price range.
TIA,
Mike

That will work fine, though it's a really crappy card (rebranded fx5200
if I'm not mistaken, hardly (if at all) faster than a GF4MX, though with
more features).
You can use any 8x capable graphic card, 8x cards which are not
backwards compatible do not exist today (and likely never will since
they are transitionig to PCI-Express anyway). (btw the fx5500 also
supports agp 8x.)
