SORRY PLEASE EXCUSE TYPO(s) IN TITLE.. its late here =)

I have a old server running somewhere in the spare room

.. It has a olde P4 640 (3.2G HT).. and an agp(x8) port lol!!

(I also have a spare dell board with a PCie x8 lane? which i suppose i could move it onto?)

So my question is, most of the day this comp. is not doing much, so i might as well get it folding, cheaply, full time!..

So do i go for a cheap AGP card (3870/3850??) or try and find something compatible with the x8 laned motherboard?

(As a side note, just seen 4670's going for like.. 60 quid =0.. but unsure if this would work in the pcie x8??).. Hmmmz!

Recommendations please!!

Thanks!

Yes 4670 runs at 8X.
Your problem with the Q9650 and P5Q pro it's just like mine. I think is not the 400FSB but at 400 it runs at 1600 FSB the motherboard max FSB!
It's sad but true... I have mine at 400x9 3,6GHz.

Last night when i was reading around i read something about them not fitting in a x8 lane..?

=( Perhaps it is just the P5Q pro? Would love to hear from someone with a deluxe version or a better gigabyte board..OR.. X48? lol! But until then 3.6Ghz with air wil have do lol! =(
