Seems like all the REALLY cheap PCI-Express video cards don't have much onboard memory (32MB or less) and need to run at PCI-Ex16 to be able to share system memeory.
My motherboard only has a PCI-E x4 slot (ASUS P5GL-MX) which is actually an AGP slot disguised as a PCI-E slot that can physically fit a PCI-Ex16 card. Anyway, I digress. I want to know which PCI-E video cards out there actually support PCI-E x4 so I can use it on my mobo..... I don't need anything fancy, just the cheapest one out there with DVI-D out. I've been looking around the web, and beisdes all those TURBOCACHE or HYPERMEMORY cards which I've deduced to NOT be PCI-Ex4 compatible, I haven't a further clue as to which ones are PCI-Ex4 compatible. Thanks!
