I can't find any info on that mobo, you have link to specs or summat? But if it's AGP 8x and you have either an AGP 8x or 4x mobo, should be find I think.

Hi Quantum,
The N18 SLI GR MOBO http://www2.abit.com.tw/page/en/motherboard/motherboard_detail.php?fMTYPE=LGA775&pMODEL_NAME=NI8-SLI%20GR
Which I have the 2x 6800 GS GLH 512MB installed but waiting for delivery of the bridge piece to connect the 2 cards.485gpu and 1300 mem stock.2 GB MEM 500W PSU. This of course is PCI-E. Since the AGP card is now mine I have 2 questions.
1) Will the AGP card run on this mobo as an alternative to PCI-E(just looked again maybe no AGP slots)
2)Would the AGP card be too much for the older family PC (presently running Radeon 9550 256mb) HP Pavillon 710 with 1.3ghz celeron processor 512MB RAM will check PSU wattage on Everest when I finish this post and update Mobo shows support for 133 FSB which isnt that high.
cheers

Yeah, an AGP Graphics card won't fit in a PCI-e slot... and I've only ever once seen a mobo have both a PCI-e slot and an AGP slot and it was a terrible motherboard.
Should fit fine in that old computer (I guess it'll be AGP 4x or 8x). But you'll likely need to pick up a better PSU. This is the PSU I use frequently for people who need an alright quality one on a budget: http://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Other+products/Xilence+420W+Gaming+PSU+?productId=19868
That said I think their postal charge is a rip off if I remember rightly (I live a 10 min walk away from them).
