Dimension 8400 and Radeon 9600 XT 128MB Card Compatible?
Hi. I just ordered a new Dimenson 8400 with 128MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X300 SE video card. However, on my old computer, I have installed a Radeon 9600 XT 128 MB Video card. Can I transfer my Radeon 9600 XT to the Dimension 8400 or will that cause problems? The Radeon 9600 is an AGP card. Is it worth it to do this, if I can? Or are they basically both just as fast? I don't know much about these things so if you could help me I'd very much appreciate it. Thanks.

You can't physically fit an AGP card in a PCI-Express slot, so you can't do it. The PCI-Express equivalent of the 9600 XT is the x600 XT. A x300 SE is inferior to the 9600 XT, by a pretty huge margin of crappiness too.
