Best bet, is to go to new egg and just check out all the agp cards they have. It's going to be more expensive since the standard is pci-e. They have over 40 choices though. just pick something that can give you hdcp playback. so any card from about $50 on.
Thread: AGP 8X Video Card  |

Started 1 month, 2 weeks ago by Tred
I'm trying to revive a computer that has an ATI Radeon 9800 AGP 8X card in
it. I'm building it to watch Hulu on my LCD TV. What's a video card that's
faster than this that will fit in my AGP 8X slot?

I don't need HD playback though. The trouble I'm having is that because
it's old technology, I can't find much info on the hierarchy of AGP 8X
cards. I'm looking for a card that is better than what I have, that will
run Hulu videos smoothly, and doesn't cost too much. I can't justify
spending too much since I'm only trying to make things work with what I
have.

you may need to upgrade the processor on the mainboard over the card. my 10' mini laptop plays hulu ok, what kills it is the 900mhz processor. A couple of years ago, the 9800 was a great card. look into the processor and let us know. i know my old AIW card is still good.

That was the first thing I've done: I upgraded the 2.5Ghz P4 to the 3.4Ghz Prescott. For the Socket 478, there is nothing better than what I've got in there. I believe it's got 2 or 4GB of RAM. The tower practically has no applications installed hogging the RAM or CPU usage. I think upgrading the video card will make Hulu run smooth.
Surprisingly, my laptop with the Core Duo T2500 at 2Ghz ...

did you check the PSU? if not then a decent agp card would be this one . AGP isn't as efficient a tech as pci-e so it's definitely outdated, but about $50 is a good price for agp. This one is not bad either.
