Can anyone direct me to a website that shows the different kinds of AGP video cards. I was at a computer auction and picked up a couple of boxs full of odds and ends (Hard drives, CD-Roms, sound and video cards, motherboards,cables etc) I've been checking & testing everything and found that about 90% is is in good working condition (It's not just old junk, some fairly new stuff, like 40 Gig HD) What I would like to know is, what do you look for to tell the difference between the different styles of AGP video cards. Is it a 1X, 2X, 4X, or 8X and can you tell by the chips how many megs of ram it has and if not how do you find out. Thanks in advance for your help.

Thanks Archer I checked out those sites, they help me figure what kind of cards I have has far as speed and voltage is concerned. I appreciate your help. Now I have to figure out how much ram they have with out going thru all the trouble of installing the cards and the drivers.
