Aero Fly And Video Cards

[JohnC]

Since my compter flies AeroFly well I want to use add ons 3 and 5. However I need to upgrade the video card. Problem It has to be a AGP slot card. The rest of the specs are within or exceed minium requirements.

Question:

Any of the ATI Radeon HD series cards work with add ons 3 and 5?

you have to tread carefully. there are different agp specifications.

i wanted to upgrade an agp card in a 7 year old PC. I bought and tried two different cards but neither worked due to incompatible voltages. In fact it was so tricky finding a modern AGP card that worked that I decided to go ahead and swap out the entire motherboard, processor and cpu.

I feel it was worth it in order to be able to use pci-e cards. AGP was pretty horrible in my experience, there is little choice and they are more expensive. Plus I now have a new computer which is must faster and complies with modern standards.
