| 659163 | 2008-04-15 11:40:00 | I am looking for a 128Mb/256Mb PCI-E graphics card, bargain basement, but must have TV-out. Cheapest decent card possible. I don't play many games, but do have vista, so must give decent performance in Aero. However my motherboard has a very limited selection of what can fit in my system. I got a X300LE which didn't work and had to go in another system. My Motherboard is a Gigabyte M61VME-S2 (www.gigabyte.com.tw). It has a list of compatiable graphics cards which I can't find any of here (PDF Download) (www.gigabyte.com.tw). Anyhelp would be muchly appreciated. This one has got me baffled as to what would and wont work. |

| 659164 | 2008-04-15 11:51:00 | X1300Pro - usually in 256MB, some 512MB I think. And any second hand 6600GT should do fine. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 659165 | 2008-04-15 12:10:00 | So this www.trademe.co.nz or this www.trademe.co.nz would work? If so the X1300 would be the stronger card? |

| 659166 | 2008-04-15 12:58:00 | Well, if you don't game at all I guess a new 8400GS at only $60 wouldn't hurt. | qazwsxokmijn (102) | ||
| 659167 | 2008-04-15 13:18:00 | So this www.trademe.co.nz or this www.trademe.co.nz would work? If so the X1300 would be the stronger card? This would rather depend on whether you trust the vendor on TradeMe. What I did note was that the USED SAPPHIRE - ATI RADEON X1300 256MB PCI-E GRAPHICS CARD appears to be being sold by a company and I also see that the date appears to be in American format like 4/9/2008 as compared to 9/4/2008 for example. This is advertised as a used card. The other card is not advertised as used. I have no idea which of the two will suit you best or what your needs are. |

I only have one other system. That got the X300 by default because It couldn't be used by this system. Don't wont that to happen again, as I've it doesn't work in this board, It will have no use. |
