I have a Motherboard which supports up to 64 MB AGP Card.
The Local Retailer assures me that he can even make 128 MB Card run in a 4X slot.
Should I do that or only buy the 64 MB AGP Card ?
Please tell me urgently.
Thank You. 
I have another 128 MB AGP Card which does not run as the hardware guy says the 128 Card that I have is different slot wise. Is he fooling me ?
I also want to know if cards have different slots. I used to think all the cards have similar slots .
i think it'll run, but bad things happen to good people ya know (i.e. can make motherboard explode, overheat...)
secondly, can i have your extra 128mb card, i would like to play BF2 but my 64mb cant run it...=/
There are different types of AGP/PCI-E video cards, you have to get a video card that supports a 4x slot, (There are 128 meg cards that supports 4x). Im assuming the 128 meg card you have is probably either an 8x or 16x card, which wont run on a 4x board.
Check this card out it will get you what you need or all you need for a AGP machine.
Thanks everyone for replying here.
I have a Spare 8X Card. 
Thank You FlyByU for that great link. The Card looks good and cheap too.
I cannot send the card Cantana as I am sure you must be staying pretty far away from me.
You also have to check Voltages IE there is different colour AGP slots and they are all different voltages so you have to make sure the card will run on the AGP slot!!!!!
Nice Observation Slayer. 
How can I tell which color is for which voltage ?
Basically i am just adding to Kalsies response the different speed cards also have slightly different voltages.... the most common AGP slot is Broawn for modern baords ao aslong as you have a Brown AGP slot you will be ok:)
I have a Brown Slot.
Any more information would be cool too and highly appreciated.
I was just checking the Motherboard Manual and it just says 4X.
It does not say how much MB Card is supported maximum. 
Well, there are about 2/3 or more AGP types, namely 1-3. But as someone said the more modern ones are generally brown.
I highly recommend tigerdirect.com for parts that are not nearly extinct.

This had both a 64 MB and 4X agp, for about 30 plus shipping, or there are fancier ones if you must risk that.
wow you replied to a dormant thread dating back to mid 2008 I guess finishing the help thread is a good thing anyway !
Rofl sorry sir, thought it was weird someone was asking for AGP stuff in 2010.
Get a new computer?
however easy that message sounded, it can easily deceive one 
Holy necrothreading!
Heheheheh, with that said, I possess and run possibly the best AGP card they will ever put out period, good luck finding one now unfortunately...
What about a Diamond ATI Radeon HD 4650?

Unfortunately the 128-bit data bus of the 4650 hinders it greatly compared to the 3850's 256-bit data bus. The above comparison is with a 4670 card mind you...
Surprised that ATI actually put out some newer AGP models but sadly, those two are using the lower-tier manufacturing process with the 128-bit bus.(one method on how they cripple the performance to create cheaper, lower-end video cards)
Meh that sucks... Guess we'll all have to move on to PCI-E someday...
Whoooo, they still have it in stock somewhere! Kinda high though...
