    Unhappy I could use some help..

     
    Hey, Im currently running a Nvidia Geforce 6600 GT ,graphics card, And I realy want to upgrade soon because im experiencing a bit of lag in games and such. Aswell as my graphics are all pretty low quality. I can spend roughly between 100-150$ tops right now. Im not sure what cards i can use, so please let me know what my system can handle. I have AGP and run a AMD Athlon (tm) XP 2800+ , 2.08 ghz 1.00 GB of ram, thanks for reading

    No problem at all...you will see a few recommendations in my thread. Feel free to comment there or ask any questions you might have since your system is very similar to mine.

    A simple way would be to take off your side cover and look at it.


    There should be a make/model and mention of the watts/amps, etc.
