63434 2002-07-19 01:04:00 I need a new agp graphics card. I'm looking to spend $230 ~ $240 tops, preferably less.

Anyone got any suggestions??

63436 2002-07-19 02:45:00 heh, should have said.

i'm running winXP Pro on a duron 800 with 256mb ram and a 60 gig hdd.

i'm not a huge player of games, but i want to play dungeon siege and warcraft 3, and my sad old 8mb agp card just ain't up to scratch...


i've sort of looked at the geforce4 but i know bugger all about graphics cards and i don't really know how to compare one with the next except for on a price basis.

i've been using http://www.pricespy.co.nz as a starting point but as i don't know what features to look for, its a bit hard to do a decent comparison.

63437 2002-07-19 02:53:00 If you aren't really a game nut (and hence don't want to spend $500-900 bucks :-) ) then the cars Tweak's suggested should suit you fine. I have a Geforce2 at home and I've just got a GeForce4 MX at work, and both play Dungeon Siege fine. I'd go for the GeForce4 MX, it should last you better than the GF2. Biggles (121)
