Need to use a better video
The Intel D845EBG2 motherboard supports AGP graphics cards.
(Accelerated Graphics Port)
It supports AGP graphics card's that are AGP 4X, and 1.5 Volt.
(Supports AGP 2X also, but who cares)
1) Good;

80 Stream Processors.
(Also; Read the reviews)
What are stream processors? Nothing new. Just a new term for the same old graphics technology;
"A stream processor is an ALU which is usually involved in handling SIMD
instructions. ALU stands for Arithmetic Logic Unit, which in English
means "number cruncher". It's the part of the chip that does the actual
computation involved in processing data. Nearly every chip around
today no matter if its in your video card or your coffee maker has at
least one ALU. "SIMD instruction" means that it crunches a group or
"stream" of numbers all at once rather than one at a time. For the
RV740, the number you hear is 640 "stream processors" because each of
the eight shader cores has sixteen execution units and each of those has
five ALUs: 8 x 16 x 5 = 640."
