My computer (desktop) has an ASUS P4P800-MX motherboard with on board graphics (Intel 82865G graphics controller). The motherboard has a total of three 32 bit PCI 2.2 expansion slots which (according to my manual) support bus master PCI cards like SCSI or LAN cards with 133MB/s maximum throughput (whatever that means!)
In addition, the same situation with the software exists on my one year old Toshiba Satellite laptop! which has Mobile 945GM Express chipset family.


Unfortunately it looks like your motherboard does not even provide an AGP slot - not to mention that any graphic card today is PCI-Express (which is not the same as "PCI").
So, forget about getting a graphic card of any kind for that motherboard.

Yeah! Because there's NO where in the world where you can get an older
PCI graphics card. NOWHERE! Not anywhere....

Psst... TigerDirect lists THIRTY TWO legacy PCI cards.



Yeah right, with OpenGL 1.5 in their drivers.... and 256 Mb VRam.... :)))
Your "legacy PCI cards" would not run the plugin.... full stop.
