Hello everyone. I recently had problems with my old video card (Nvidia Geforce 5200) which was causing my computer to crash. First thought it was a driver issue but when I took the card out I noticed that some of the capacitators? on the card were busted on the top and some white substance was coming out
So, obviously it seems I need a new video card. I have a Dell Dimension 8300 P4 3ghz and 1gb ram (about to be 2 gb soon).
I'm not much of a gamer but I watch alot of videos on this machine and I do play some games (Hitman: Contracts is one of my favs). So I need some suggestions on what video card to get.
I've noticed that most people opt for Nvidia cards but what does people think about ATI? And I need to try to keep this under $200 (hopefully around $150 or so). Thanks in advance.
This also cannot be a PCI-Express video card as my mb does not support that.
