will a radeon 9800 pro graphics card (the one that costs £299 from this site and is blue) work in my system.
my system specs are as follows
celeron 2.4ghz cpu 400hmz fsb (currantly running at 100mhz fsb)
256 sdr ram running at 133hmz
4x agp slot.
my main concern is wether the card mentioned (an 8x agp card) will run in mt 4x agp slot.
also will the slow clock speed im being forced to run at stop it from working and if so will it work after i upgrade to 512mb or ddr ram running a 266hmz allowing my cpu to run at 200hmz or more?

Man! your system sounds like its in a bottlenecked up kind of mess... Sort it out before I come and do the screwdriver processor tweak as suggested by Borat...
Steal one and if it works go back to the shop and pay them. Other than that, you've just got to take peoples word for it.
someone said that 8x card will usualy run in a 4x slot.
is there anyway i can be sure before i buy?

my celeron is running at 100 fsb out of 400 because i recently changed system.
my old system used sdr ram, this one uses ddr ram but has one slot for sdr and im still using 1 sdr till i get the money to buy some ddr
using sdr i cannot have a fsb ubove 100, my mb wont allow it
(strange because the system bus is suposed to be 533 or somat)
anyway when i get some ddr ill put my fsb up

Any card will usually run in a 4X slot, but will not perform at it's best because of the slower 'bandwidth' compared to 8X AGP, of which it is designed for.
and why is your Celeron running at 100mhz FBS when it is supposed to be running at 400mhz FBS?
