Graphics Card NEEDED

Archive: 1 post


Long story short, my old gateway (which I am using right now to type this) does not have a graphics card, whatsoever... so things i can run are not just limited, but downright slow if they can.

Obviously, that is a problem. So what do i do?

Get one, of course!

Currently i am saving up my allowance each week to purchase a new graphics card for the computer, fortunately ( or unfortunately, depends how you look at it :/ ) it only accepts PCI cards, not PCI Express, so my options aren't as broad, so i can decide sooner...

anyways, Specs for those that wish to know them

Intel Celeron 1400 MHZ (old version, from 2002)
Windows XP Home Premium
512 MB ram

and some limitations

only accepts PCI (again, not PCI Express)
does not accept DDR2 memory
only accepts up to 2 GB ram (not counting Graphics Card, at least I think)

Obviously, not many things i can do, huh. IF i updated both the RAM and get a good Graphics card, i could at least play most MMOS and probaby some middle of the line graphics-wise games... but this is just to hold me over, so thats no problem

I DO have an idea already, but If you have a better card that meets these standards... please say, heres the one i was thinking of: PNY RVCGFX522PXB GeForce FX 5200 256MB 128-bit DDR PCI Video Card
