"Whats the newest nvidia video card i can use on AGP using win98 or winME?" Make sure that ya AGP slot on ya motherboard is the right voltage when upgrading!!!Do ya home work before buying any card!!

AGP cards are backward and forward compatible within limits. 1.5 V-only keyed cards will not go into 3.3 V slots and vice versa, though "Universal" slots exist which accept either type of card. AGP Pro cards will not fit into standard slots, but standard AGP cards will work in a Pro slot. Some cards, like Nvidia's GeForce 6 series (except the 6200) or ATI's Radeon X800 series, only have keys for 1.5 V to prevent them from being installed in older mainboards without 1.5 V support. Some of the last modern cards with 3.3 V support were the Nvidia GeForce FX series (FX 5200, FX 5500, FX 5700, some FX 5800, FX 5900 and some FX 5950)Some Geforce 6200 cards will function with AGP 1.0 (3.3v) slots.

It is important to check voltage compatibility as some cards incorrectly have dual notches and some motherboards incorrectly have fully open slots. Furthermore, some poorly designed older 3.3 V cards incorrectly have the 1.5 V key. Inserting a card into a slot that does not support the correct signaling voltage may cause damage.

Motherboard slots with both 3.3 V and 1.5 V keys do not exist.

Hi, Sorry, kinda late. I just saw this and I want to add something. Based on what I have gathered online, The fastest Nvidia card for some users for Win98Se-2Me rig was a 7900GT AGP . You could also have Geforce 2 MX400 or Geforce FX4000.

I think, you are correct with Geforce 2 MX400.
