I need to get a video card, and i need to know what to look for in one, im not asking for an exact type of video card. i'm just trying to learn more about them. Thanks
 
And what do you want to use the card for? What games are you trying to play and what is the rest of your setup like?
 
i want to spend about $80. I'll be using it for games like battlefield 2 . i have a AMd 64 Athlon 3500+ 2.2 gigahertez and a gig of ram
 
Make sure you have a PCI-E slot before you buy that card!

If not, get a PCI-E motherboard anyway... AGP card prices seem to be WAY higher than PCI-E cards... I really need to make the switch myself.

Go for a 7600GT, that'll be able to play Battlefield 2 just fine.

Best card for the money and the rebate puts it right in your price range. As said, make sure you've got pci express before you buy.
 
I should have told you. i dont want to change motherboards. But i have a pci-e slot, not a agp
 
Okay, then that 7600gt is going to be your best bet. Most new games should run just fine on your pc with that card on mid-settings or so.
