also is the price ok? I'm using onboard graphics at the moment, only 64mb memory, i play the odd game here and there, but i'm not a hardc*re gamer. Use my computer for lots of other things

is there a better option to go for as far as agp graphics cards are concerned?

also think i need to mention that the 6200 card they showed me has 512mb of memory

its a terrible card. useless for games and you are being ripped off. AGP is very dated but there are decent cards out there to meet most games minimum requirements, which will probably be limited by your CPU performance. A lot of the time its not a great path spending money on an old machine

yes, i get what your saying spartan. Could you suggest what would be the best agp card to go for? I'm stuck with my machine for the next year as i'm going to be off work for a year, so money is gonna be scarce for that time. I just cant stand the onboard graphics anymore, so whatever card i put in now i'm stuck with. I'm running p4 3gig, and 2 gigs of ram at the moment

thanks for the help so far spartan

p4 3.0ghz.. a nvidia card. like the 6800 or 7600 you should be able to pick 1 of them up for 300-400 rand its a pitty that in s.a the second hand market charges nearly new prices. if you can look on ebay or gumtree they tend to have cheap second hand gear that will out perform and beat on price your current offer.

the 6200 realy is a pants card, barley better than onboard igp's even if you could find somthing like the old 5800gt it would be better a lot better. at least then you could get very modest gaming performance and maybe play the likes of need for speed most wanted.(at modest settings)

ati's 4670 has 1gb agp version i think.

Go to matrix ask them to phone alberton branch, they had ati 4series agp cards lart time i was there
