- Thread starter jjlaughner
- Start date
Will have a 2x-4x ATI Rage 128 AGP card with video adpaters for sale. This card was $249 about two years ago, I will get more info and pics, would go great in the machines listed for some lite video editing! Probley $50 if I can find all the cables and drivers! Add to the AMD XP2100 setup I have on ebay and do some short videos!
Will this work in a dell optiplex? I bought it from my last employer and is a work version dell that won't allow me to play any gamesjjlaughner said:Will have a 2x-4x ATI Rage 128 AGP card with video adpaters for sale.

I looked on the dell site and it looks like the mini towers use PCI-E (pci express) video cards, in which case this one would not work (and I dont have any PCI-E cards).
If you have a digital camera snap a picture of the computer case and let me know what model it is (like a 280x desktop or 280x mini-tower), pop the side open and look at the video card (snap a pic of it also). Generally the AGP ports are Brown, PCI-E are black and PCI ports are white (on most production units).

This page says it has an AGP slot but does not say if it is a 4x or 8x slot. The reason I'm replacing the card is the new motherboard I got is an 8X and has a slghtly different slot so this 4x ATI Rage card does not fit. If you shut the computer down, pop out the video card and it only has one knotch in the male part of the video then this ATI card would work for you, if it has 2 slots in the card it would not.
Example:
if it looks like this
(8x AGP) then this ATI card will not work
if it looks like this its a PCI-E card
a 4x AGP card looks like this
this is a similar model to the one I have for sale

Do you have enough memory to bring either one of these up to 512K Ram? I have 4 - 128K PC100's already though if iether one has 4 slots?
Im looking for PC100 or 133 memory sticks if you have any? Also anyone have any PCI Vid cards they wanna sell?
I have a matrox millinium II PCI card 4 MB with the 8MB expansion board so 12MB total listed above
I have the 1 stick of 128mb PC100 thats in the 400mhz machine above and a second stick of 128MB PC100 I was going to edit and add to it, I migth have one stick of 256MB PC100 ram.
newegg shows the PC100 128mb ram going for $46 each, so maybe $40 for the pair of 128MB I have if I get buyers for the board and processor seperate
I'll tear into another machine tomorrow and see what ram it has also...
