i need a new video card

[zackF.]

on my pc i dont have a lot of memory on my hard drive (not as much as most of my friends pcs) and I was wunderin what was a good card to play i need atleast like 64mb and 3d grahpics

[Skhorpion]

please spell correctly, it so annoying to see people say "wundering" on purpose

i need more info anyway, does your comp have an AGP slot? PCI-E? or just PCI?

whats your budget? what games do you play?

[zackF.]

its just PCI I want a card that will last and it can be about maybe $150 tops and I play like Age of Empires, The Movies, The Sims, Roller Coaster Tycoon

[Skhorpion]

PCI sucks

[zackF.]

i kno my comp does suck it can barely run like 2 programs at a time or it starts to crash

[Skhorpion]

then why are you buying a video card

[zackF.]

cause my parents wont get a new pc

[Bobby]

I have just gotten a new computer... one of those costomisable ones.... and i have a lot of those simulation games and i cannot play any of them

Same problem

[zackF.]

I guess its PCI. Its either that or AGP. Can I find out without taking off the case?

[zackF.]

Nevermind its AGP. Sorry I thought it was PCI. I just thought that cause my comp is kinda old. But what is a good AGP video card?

[Kiros]

Well, you need to look up your AGP's speed (4x, 8x ...) Then I can suggest a good card for you.

PCI sucks

Dam do i know it sucks, i forget what card it was exsactly, I remember that it was the best card that ATI had to offer. Anywho, i got this card for chrismas, and dam was i exsited, so I run upstairs get my computer open, and im like SH!T. I don't have a AGP or PCI-E slot. It sucked, i hade to settle for a far less powerful Nivida 5500 PCI card.

I would have gone with an nVidia GeForce 4 series card. The 5 series is far to beta-like and has "fragile" pipelines. The 4's perform a little bit better in some aspects anyway :P

mt my dads i have Nvidea G-Force 2.. thats almost 5 years old now but its still a very good performance!

[BillyWitchDoctor.com]

i really want to get a new computer and customize it. mines like 5 years old and the only thing ive done to make it better is get a new video card and a new hard drive like last year when the old one was just like one completely huge virus.

[Elscire]

i got a Ge-Foce 5200, i know its out of date but video cards and rams cost so damn too much. i need to get a job at publix here. even if they pay me $4 an hour with the tax takened

[fdsgfg55465]

then why are you buying a video card

[zackF.]

its 4x speed

[Kiros]

I cannot guarantee the stability or the performance of this card because it's ATi, but I do believe it's a fairly decent card for AGP 4x.

PowerColor Radeon 7000 (clicky) (http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1058665&CatId=876)

[zackF.]

ok thank you

[infextus disease]

ive been running an ati rage 128 and an ati all in wonder 128 for a few years. granted each car only has 32 mb of video but it does have a 350 mghtz proc on their. they used to run all of my games untill CS source came out and until i got into unreal tournament. but the ati rage series is rather in expensive and from my expierience rather reliable

[Kiros]

Heh, I made a big jump from internal graphics to nVidia GeForce 6600GT. I really needed it because of Unreal Tournament 2004, but everything else looks so much better, so I'm not complaining :D

[fdsgfg55465]

wow stupid people these days

[Kiros]

Stupid people? Would you like to elaborate on who you're calling stupid?
