I doubt the 845 based mobo will have an AGP slot or if it does it will have a 4x AGP slot. You need a 8X slot for an Ati radeon 9600/9800 PRO.

Thanks I will ask my dady 8)

No u dont need a 8X slot. Even a 4X slot would do. The 8X card will just run at 4X and there isnt much of an improvement between 4x and 8X anyways.
