    upgrading graphics card

     
    Hi,

    at the moment i have an ATI radeon 9200se 128MB, and i want to upgrade it, but i just wondered what i should look...? i don't want an amazingly up to date one, because basically i cant afford it. somewhere round about £30. Is there a difference between the price or quality of AGP and PCI slot graphics cards?? I know enough about computers to choose and fit stuff like RAM etc, but this a bit out of my deoth of knowledge lol.

    My motherboard is a GA-8i848PM P4 Titan series.

    Thanks,

    Ben =)

    If you have AGP, go AGP. A 2600XT or a 3850 is top end on AGP now. I'm not sure about the money conversion but you may be able to get a 1650 or a 2600 for that.

    thanks for the info. I've just been searching for the ones you mentioned. I found the ATI Radeon X1650 Pro 512MB (AGP). It seems to be the cheapest option. I also came across some really fancy one for over a grand! haha I didn't know stuff like this could get so expensive!

    I'm a bit worried that once I buy a graphics card, it won't be compatible with my motherboard. Is the graphics card i mentioned above the one I should think of getting? And do you know if it'll definately compaitble?

    Thanks,
    Ben
