I tell ya get the Radeaon 9600 or 9800 (both 128)it will cot you 200 bones but you wont have to buy one again. And if you buy a game nowadays it will prolly require you to have that card anyways

Mayhem · January 09, 2005, 02:22:00 PM

Yep .. I have a Radeon 9600 xt

I just finished ordering a 9800 pro .. you can never have too much power!

Btw, the autos just FLY on the 9600xt. $200 canadian and worth every penny.

I have a Radeon 7000, 64 MB. It works for the new sims2, and I seldom have problems with pogo (except on wednesday) I got it online for $42.07 including shipping.

IndianLover · January 12, 2005, 07:33:37 PM

tysvm chunky i appreciate that, i really need to do something, lol because my little ole 16 isnt' cutting it well anymore lol

Your very welcome, We're a single income family and $200 is alot of money for a graphics card. So finding a cheaper one that works was great for me!!!! I got it at www.mwave .com!!! you just need to make sure that wait you buy (especialy if it just the card and not the whole ghaphics mother board) that it works with you computer... I.E... mine has an AGP slot.
The front of your computer should say what you have.

that it works with you computer... I.E... mine has an AGP slot.

Chunky not quite sure what you mean i looked at the front and it doesn't tell me anything about a slot?? just says on the side of the coputer nVidia Vanta Graphics card, is that what you are talking about?? When i called stores there where saying 600.00 to update just to a 64 and what a bummer that is :'(

IndianLover · January 13, 2005, 06:49:35 PM

Sorry I feel real numb now mine is PCI bus 1

chunkyMonkey · January 13, 2005, 08:46:07 PM

You should go to best buy and ask them what are the best options and prices for you puter, it might be worth checking in a Radeon Graphics Motherboard around $200 or soo. They should just make puters with 124 bit graphics.

tybsvm i am goig to upgrade as soon as i get the mula, i got to be able to play my sims 2, it is driving me crazy :o

i have a G-FORCE FX 5200 AGP with N-VIDIA. its by pny technologies, its fantastic. i get into everything with it, not had a problem yet. i don't think it was that expensive either, i am from the UK and when i bought it it was only £80, it has now gone down to £50, don't know what that is in $ though
