Even if they did I wouldn't think it would be able to handle newer games. AGP is really old technology.|||I presently have my own home built computer with an older Abit BD7II motherboard.



The AGP slot is 4X maximum.



I run a 2.66Ghz Intel with 2 gig of memory.



My video card is ATI 9800 256MB.



I play COD4 fantastic but I did notice I had to lower my sound from max to medium to eliminate some stuttering in game. Other than that ( Sound still is great ) I have no problems with COD4.



Haven't tried BioShock
