Do you want to game on it?

You could add a motherboard to your list, and use the existing computer as some sort of server.
 
well whats the best video card i could get for a 4x agp. (sorry its only 4x). and i will probably do a little gaming but not a monstrous amount.
 
A 6600 or 6600GT would work fine. It's an AGP4x/8x card.

I meant they are backwards compatable with 4x slots.. mah bad.
 
i kno, but why would i buy something that i cant fullly use and unlock its potential. will it still look as good as it does in 8x mode?
 
It wouldn't look any different on 4x in terms of visual quality, and in terms of performance, from my experience, it doesn't make that big of a difference. I think it would be worthwhile to go ahead and get one.
