I have a P4 Titan Series 865P Motherboard GA-8IP775 Series AGP 8x/Dual Channel DDR with an Intel 865P chipset.

Answer 1

Yes, the Gigabyte GA-8IP775 mobo, will support this AGP 8X graphics card.http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Moth...

However your main concern should be that you have:

1.A P4 that is at least 2.0GHz.

2.At least 1GB of ram memory.

3.A 450 watt power supply, AND it has a 75 watt->6- PIN PCI-Express power connector. (SIX PIN JEDI!) (Usually they tell you the AMP size of the 12 volt Voltage Rail, not the WATT size. Amps times Volts=Watts. I assume you're using 120 volts. Divide 75 watts by 120 volts, and you arrive at .625 amps. (5/8th's of an Amp! That's less, than the Amps used by a 100 watt light bulb!) Pretty sure a 450 watt power supply has at least a 12 Amp->12 volt Voltage Rail! lol!

X-Bit Lab's indicates 60 WATTS!

Scroll down the following page to the fifth row of photos. The first photo on the left, shows what a 6-pin PCI-Express power connector looks like,

This power supply is 500 watts, and has the necessary 6-pin connector.

Have at least a 450 watt Psu, but it doesn't have the 6-pin PCI-E connector?

Then you need this adapter.

Answer 2

Yes, this card will be fine on your system. Since, it is an AGP 8x card, which your motherboard supports, there should be no problem.

Answer 3

you need an 8pin PCIe power connetor for that card and make sure that your PSU is at least a 400W. I would recommend 550W...
