I need help with my graphic/video card upgrade...?
Intel Pentuim 4 CPU 2.2Ghz
ASUS P4PV-MX mobo
256 mb RAM
40 gb HD
NVDIA GeForce2 Mx/Mx 400 64mb
Windows XP Professional
im thinking of upgrading my graphics card, my motherboard supports AGP 4x and has 3 32-bit PCI 2.2 expansion slots. yes i know this model is way to old but it still works for me though, im still playing online games with this one.
any suggestion of what kind of graphics card am i going to buy? and can i use those graphics/video cards that are for PCI slots? im just confused with the AGP and PCI graphic cards.
opinions are well appreciated, thanks in advance.
Answers:
nvidia 7600gs is a cheap agp card that would be a great upgrade for you. You would definately notice the difference even with the 4x bus. Check www.newegg.com for other ideas!
I think you cannot upgrade your video card anymore. Since all video cards now a days run on PCI-E. PCI-E are more faster compare to AGP. AGP can only support up to 8x of bus speed. As to PCI-E it can run 16x and can support a bigger memory video cards.
