Most likely:
1.   You need to research and make sure the voltage on you AGP slot will
be enough to power the graphics card you desire. Also the speed of the
slot will affect the efficiency of the graphics card and the number of
frames it can run.

2.   You will most likely have to upgrade the power supply. I purchased
a moderate speed graphics card for my Compaq and the specs stated it
needed a minimum 350 Watt PS.

3.   With that latest and greatest graphic card, be sure that the card
will have sufficient ventilation/cooling space.

4.   You didn't state what your system CPU speed was, but there is a
relationship between the CPU and the graphics card running the video.

Just an initial input. Others will probably have a lot more.

Has anyone on the list any help for me on this matter The motherboard is an Intel 865g chipset.
