A good video card?

[StriderZ]

Hi,

can anyone suggest me a good video card online, i'm wanting to spend around $100-$200.

my system specs:
Intel processor III 866mhz (-_-)
896MB RAM
256MB nvidia geforce FX5200


i looked on the net and people say the FX5200 isn't a good card for games..so can you guys suggest me a gfx card good for games.

also, when it says "AGP 4x/8x", can my computer use it?
because i checked with CPU-Z, and it says

version: AGP version 3.0
Transfer RATE: 2x
max supported: 2x
side band: enabled

thanks.

Your current setup, being many years old now, wouldn't support a good graphics card
I'd recommend saving up and buying a whole new system. You can build a decent rig for around $500, which would be over 9000 times better than your current computer. Definately worth it, especially if you wanted a graphics card for gaming.

It's hardly worth sinking $100-200 into this machine. It's just too old and bottlenecked by a slow cpu and ram. Your PSU likely couldn't handle a higher end agp card. If you can expand your budget a little we can help you put together a new system to build or order that would be much better for gaming.

This build comes to $493 before mail in rebates and will be a massive improvement over your current system.

If you buy vista, spend the extra 10 bucks and get 64bit.
