ATi Radeon 9800 != GeForce 9800GT(X(+))

At least it's an AGP card and not something even older.  There were a couple of double precision HD38xx cards with AGP interface that used to run the milyway-at-home project, but with the requirement for OpenCL I'm not sure even they would work based on the info in the mining comparison.

Can I mine with this card? I don't think it's got OpenCL Support.

Its on the mining hardware comparison list though, as 9800GT and 9800GTX?

Does this mean I can mine with this card?

You can't mine on that card. It doesn't support OpenCL (OpenCL is supported from ATI 4000 serie)
And it doesn't even support CAL (wich is deprecated but work fine for simple things like mining, is supported from ATI 2000 series)

(so 2000 and 3000 have only CAL, while from 4000 to now they have also OpenCL)


Nope.. atleast not efficently..

You can try:

but its practically just waste of time...
He can't. That miner is in CAL, supported since ATI 2000

His 9800 is much older and doesn't support it.
