First of all to thank you for the excellent help.
As you can see I've still a lot to learn.

One thing I want to check is the card compatibility.

When I was reading the reviews on newegg.com I found a topic that this
card does not support AGP 4X.
On http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/...ProductID=2334
I can only find that it supports AGP 8X.

Previously we talk about this so I check playtool again.

845 is "AGP 1.5V Motherboard"
Nvidia GeForce 7600 is an universal 1.5v agp 3.0 card.

I checked the "Practical Motherboard And Card Compatibility" table and
it should work at 1.5V.

So when I check this the card works in my motherboard or am I missing
something and is the Nvidia GeForce 7600GS card different as the one I
found in the list, the Nvidia GeForce 7600GS?
