help with graphics card

[JakeHowlett]

I am seeking some advice with a graphics card for my computer it is an old xw6000 with Processor: 2 x Intel Xeon HT 2.66Ghz = Quad (4) x 2.66GHz
Memory: 4GB RAM (4 x 1GB)
Hard Drive: 80GB 7200RPM Drive
Optical Drive: CD/DVD drive
Graphics Card: NVidia NVS 200 AGP X8 Graphics card with Dual DVI splitter cable and DVI/VGA adapter

I bought it with xp so the graphics card in it at the moment was fine but I installed windows 7 and the graphics card is not supported.

Would this work with my computer?

No, Nvidia does not make drivers for Windows 7 on anything lower than the 6 series GPUs.
EVGA GeForce 6200 Refurbished AGP 8x Graphics Card - 512MB - 512-A8-N403-RX - Scan.co.uk

IMO you should probably be on the safe side and get the best AGP Nvidia GPU money can currently buy.

Is there anything cheaper that could be used with windows 7?

 

[PP Mguire]

The 6200 is the cheapest you can get.

OK, cheers I am looking at this because I will not be using it for gaming:

They are the same thing except that one is just low profile.

Sorry, I didn't see your first link, I will order that one as it is much cheaper than the one I found. Thank you very much

Haha yea I was going to say something but figured you might have a specific reasoning for buying from Amazon.
