Agp Card Question...?
Please be patient..
So I shopped all the major retail stores and their selection sucks!!
Anyways, I'm turning to the internet to shop...
I'm looking at newegg.com and they have WAY too many..
I'm a novice when it comes to computers...
So Please help me pick a card
My Computer:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docum...
I know that I have a 350 watt power supply, going to upgrade to 1gb RAM..
I want to play current games on highest resolution, I also want the card that will have the least install issues (I'm a novice remember)...
Oh and my budget is 150.00
Thanks for listening!
Answers:
Top of the line AGP card would be the EVGA 7800GS and its under $150 after MIR. Dont listen to these guys, they are offering you 128bit cards which even though they have the same amount of ram they are nearly 1/2 the power! ALWAYS LOOK FOR 256 bit or higher (as in the 8800 series).
I looked it up on a comparison chart and it runs at 40 GB/sec. Which is one of the fastest if not the fastest AGP card out there. AND its a good price. Lifetime warranty too!
check www.tomshardware.com
try any of this on eBay. i am currently using the Fx6200 type and i am not having any problem as to my gaming and installation
with a $150 budget, you can't play current games on highest resolution...
however you could play most game on medium or close to high quality graphic...
a really good graphic today are about $500 and up...
and its also not guarantee that agp is available, most of them are pci-e slot
