Will ati Radeon® X1650 Pro 512 MB AGP Graphics Card work on Dell dimension 8200??
Answers:
yes, it will run; see however note about power supply (!)
neither of the three cards you are looking at do run so fast that the AGP4x (1GB/s) can't feed them with data.
i myself run a X1-600 on my AGP Pro (~= AGP4x) motherboard and didn't have problems with it.
now that i upgraded to a X-800XT PE (it is an upgrade, yes), i can clearly see that thru the AGP4x port the CPU can not communicate quickly enough with the GPU and the frame rates drop when there are lots of moving objects whose pathes have to be calculated by the CPU, in a game. i'm still able to play games with better details then i could with the X1600, though.
independantly of the AGP port, the power supply of the Dell Dim.8200 will however not support the X1-650; it has only 250W and that's DEFINITELY not enough :( need @ least a 400W unit; can still try to use connector P7 (with NOTHING connected to P6!) for theX1-650 but probably not going to be enough.
beware, however, that the reign of AGP4x stops at 1280x1024 (SXGA, 17" or 19" LCD or CRT).
playing @ higher resolutions is no fun.
Unfortunately no. The video card requires an 8x AGP slot not a 4x AGP slot. This will result in laggy and under powered performance from the AGP slot. The card would eventually become faulty from being under powered from the port itself.
