What you are wondering is does he have an available AGP slot (not pgi) that will work with a new card since it sounds like his motheboard only support 2X cards.  There have been 4X cards for quite a while, and the latest is now 8X.  You may have to go to the IBM web site to see if you can find the specs on his computer.  If his mobo only supports 2X, you will have to buy him an older card.  Your money might be better spent just buying him a new computer that will allow him to play newer games.  The newest cards that support 8X like the Radeon 9800 Pro and nVidia 5900 are almost as expensive as a new computer.

>Hi I want to buy my husband a video card for his computer.  He needs a new one in order to play Nascar Thunder.   He has a IBM Netvista 2276/  The trouble is I dont know if he has a pgi slot available I know that he has a pci slot that is available.  I also know that somewhere I seen in the system something about 2x  Can you please help me in trying to figure out how to find out what kind of new video card to get.  Thanks Katie
