x1950pro or hd4650....?

go to asus, ask them.
http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/Int...specifications
check the "expansion slots" section:

Expansion Slots - 1 x AGP 8X/4X (0.8V, 1.5V only)
- 5 x PCI
- 1 x ASUS Wi-Fi slot for optional wireless LAN upgrade

AGP 4x and 8x is not clear... IS that 1.0 or is that NOT 2.0 or what...
asking wikipedia:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accelerated_Graphics_Port

Ah. interesting.
AGP 2.0from 1999
AGP 3.0 produced from 2002 on.
Pretty sure your PC is not as old as the game, eh?
Okay, almost...
"1 x AGP 8X/4X (0.8V, 1.5V only)"
looking at the wikipedia Pic, 1.5 Volts is the second slot Variant. the one with the notch far away from where you plug your monitor.


back to asus, taking a look at the AGP port. Hmm will we be able to fit a 4650 into that Port? Pretty sure that, if the new card Fits, it will be compatible.
Yes, the brown slot there is 1.5V with the notch far away from the monitor connector will be.

going to the ATI folks at amd.com
typing "4650 AGP" into the search window
Need a good Pic of the Card you will get. Is it really and truly what you are looking for?

ah. they say:

Bus Type AGP 4X/8X

so, they say, its what you need.

are we really damn sure? lets ask google, cause google knows it best... ^^
googling for "4650 AGP" we find this picture.


Its the right card, you can use that. The Notch in the connector is on the far side from where you plug the monitor. confirmed.

Just make sure you take one variant with the right connector.
the one above has two DVI outputs Flat connectors with a hundred thousand small pins.
Maybe you need a Variant with a VGA output... a "D" shaped connector with fewer pins
or use an adapter... depends on your monitor really.
