If even the USB standard is evolving, I gather AGP is as well. I am not sure
if my slot is AGP 1 or higher: if it IS first generation, can I still put a
latest generation video card in it?

Also, thanks for all the advice re choosing a new card (and for the laughs
reading your bitch sessions with each other!). One more along that subject:
If I go for a Radeon or geForce, any good ones with TV out? I sort of think
I may as well get the extra, for the money. Am I mistaken? If not, let me
know of any good ones. Any feedback greatly appreciated as usual!

Cos you can.
Check in BIOS if your slot is AGP2x or AGP4x
