I need to upgrade my video card for gaming. I presently have an HP xw4000 workstation with 845E MB. It has a 4XAGP video card. I am looking at a Sapphire Radeon 9600XT card and it has 8XAGP. Will it fit in the present slot? Is 4X AGP somehow compatible with 8X AGP? Are there other problems I will encounter in this exchange?
Also, I have two memory slots, one has a 512 chip and the other is empty. I am assuming I can put another 512 in the empty slot if it's the same type. Is that correct? My current sound card is built into the MB. If I buy a PCI sound card, how can I be sure the old sound capability is terminated and the new one is accepted? You can see I know little about computers, so I appreciate any help anyone might offer on any of these questions. Thanks.
