Just built a comp with low budget.

Try a radeon 9200 at www.tigerdirect.ca
Or go to a computer store and buy it. Even if you motherboard does not support agp 8x I would still get this card

 

[Shumway]

My mobo say's it is 8x agp but in setting's it has 32-64-128 settings so i don't know if i can go bigger than 128mb or not,website 4 the board is no help 2 me.

Is there a store nearby that sells video cards, if so which ones?

When you say you dont have a credit card do you mean that you cant use it or dont have one at all?

Well got my new card I went 4 the 128mb radeon 9200se works pretty good no more lagging anyway

did you relize you can get a video card more than 128mb?
the 32-64-128 settings only mean that your motherboard can be set to 32-64-128 mb in bios.

I went 4 the 128mb card because i heard so much junk about the 256mb cards, all i do is watch movies and play the odd game so why should i worry about having a bigger card, Bigger Is Not Alway's Better.

that 32-64-128 you see in your bios is not your video card memory. It is your computer RAM which may be used by your video card. It is like reserved space for it. You usually set it to 1/2 of your total RAM. You could put a 256 video card no problem.
