!!!!! HELP ME CHOOSE A VIDEO CARD !!!!!
I need some advice on what video card to buy. I dont
want most expensive but rather something from last year or the year before that will work perfectly with Windows XP. I really want to hear from someone that knows what will work and what won't. Or has little support. only want to spend about $100. Thanks Dan |

!!!!! HELP ME CHOOSE A VIDEO CARD !!!!!
By the Nvidia FX5200, it's as close as being w/the top dogs, w/out spending
too much cash, furthermore Nvidia does a great job in catering to the public in terms of updates and support. http://www.nvidia.com Go to Bestbuy or Compusa, and wait for their sunday fliers w/rebates galore, there is one manufacturer that actually bundles it w/games. You should be able to find these at around $100.00 to $150.00 At Bestbuy: http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...t=521&scat=522 "Dan" wrote in message ...

!!!!! HELP ME CHOOSE A VIDEO CARD !!!!!
Decide what you want to do with the card, are you interested
in playing the latest and most complex games or do you have modest graphics needs? If you spend $100 on a card that won't run the games you want, as well as you want, considering frame rate, resolution and color, you will have wasted $100. Look at the games you want to check the recommended hardware. Ask some "gamers" then buy what you want and can afford. If you buy a card that won't work, you'll just have to buy another.

!!!!! HELP ME CHOOSE A VIDEO CARD !!!!!
What kind of comuter do you have. You need to explain that and if you can
shut off the MB video. Also some of the AGP cards can be a bear to install if you do not have exactly the right combination and the proper MB driver preinstalled. I ended up with a PCI ATI Radeon 7500 on sale and it is works beautifully. Look for a card on sale, especially with rebates. "Dan" wrote in message ... I need some advice on what video card to buy.
