Well, apparently it is an AGP board, if I am not mistaken - Old in other words.
You will be limited here, as you can only buy AGP Cards - Old. It will probably cost quite a bit too (100$) range (is a lot for old stuff, which is not nearly as good as new stuff for the same price). This is probably because the companies charge more to cover manufacturing costs for old outdated hardware that doesn't bring in much profit at all. As far as the card itself goes, you are limited the 7X series of Nvidia cards and under because nothing after that (8 series and up) supports AGP anymore, I don't know when ATI stopped supporting them but it was a long time ago too, so yeah. |

unfortunately, AGP graphics cards are now almost completely phased out. with nothing to compete against them, the remaining ones tends to be expensive.

Hmmm: *Looks up specs* - "The P4VP-MX socket 478 P4 micro-ATX motherboard is just right for value and cost-conscious users. The P4VP-MX supports Intel next generation Prescott CPU, VIA ProSavage8 for quality integrated graphics, 533MHz Front Side Bus, DDR SDRAM, AGP 4X, USB 2.0, 6-channel audio and 10/100Mbps LAN. The P4VP-MX is an all-in-1 solution for system builders. "
AGP 4X, Looks like you will need to be careful when you order the video card. |
