CUDA and AGP ?

Default CUDA and AGP ?

I have small problem. For some of our master thesis subjects we should work with nVidia's CUDA technologie, but the problem is that I don't have a CUDA enabled videocard and my desktop pc doesn't have any PCI-e slot.

So, the thing is that I'm looking for a CUDA enabled AGP videocard, but I haven't found one yet .
So far I've only found a lot of GeForce 6200's with an AGP connection and even one PCI GeForce 8400GS (which is CUDA enabled, but probably slower than a regular cpu ).

Anyone knows where I could found a CUDA enabled AGP graphics card ? Price should be below €100

I'm fairly sure none exist, or at least I'm not aware of any currently made stream processor designed NVIDIA AGP GPU's.

Closest thing would be ATI's 4670 and 4650 AGP cards, they have stream processors and support GPGPU. Or, both GPU makers now/will support Directcompute and OpenCL... http://www.anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=3643&p=8

Does a 7600GS AGP also support it ? or is it only from the 8 series on ?

The 8500/8600GT seems like a good sulution, but I can't seem to find any available one

openCL isn't an option either because we'll be working with libraries designed for CUDA.

Looks like it's going to be an expensive master thesis (and I've already asked the school whether they could buy the hardware and it's a no-go )

they are indeed pretty rare
but why fret; what CPU do you have now?

at http://azerty.nl/ for less than €100 you can get mobo/cpu/vga add a few euro's more for DDR2 memory and you're set



+€30 for 2gb DDR2 PC2-6400

It's a Barton, so no way I can get a motherboard with PCI-e for it

Been looking for a cheap as system too at Forcom and Tones and it'd set me back €220 for a very basic AM2 system with a 9400GT which is not that bad .
Going to ask the researcher if a simple Celeron is powerfull enough (afaik his part of the project is written for x86).

it's not a celeron per sé, it's a Intel Dual Core CPU; pretty quick for the money
and half as expensive as that €240
