DJVageli Posted May 11, 2005 CID Share Posted May 11, 2005 For that price I think a good one would be the Nvidia GeForce 6600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peepnklown Posted May 11, 2005 CID Share Posted May 11, 2005 I would look at both the ATI Radeon X600 and NVIDIA GeForce 6600 (like above) for around $200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurricane_floyd Posted June 2, 2005 CID Share Posted June 2, 2005 I picked up an old MSI Nvidia Geforce4 Ti4400 on eBay for about $40, it kicks butt and lets my 5 year old system play almost all of the newest games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bent240LV Posted June 2, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 2, 2005 hey peepnklown, how did you find out that i had agp 4x? thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
php Posted June 2, 2005 CID Share Posted June 2, 2005 he knew because you told him the model of your computer, 4x is standard on a 4550 I think... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bent240LV Posted June 2, 2005 Author CID Share Posted June 2, 2005 yeah i figures that out just as i posted it and came back to edit but you already replied. Ok newegg is kind of confusing. Im looking up the 4x/8x cards because im assuming thats what i can get. But when i click on the picture of the card i want the box only shows 8x but newegg has it listed as 4x/8x and i called them but they have no tech support ot answer questions like that. so i have no idea on what card to get now.
