I'm thinking of updating my graphics card. Is the ATI Radeon 9600XT AGP 256MB a good card or no? What are your suggestions for gaming that don't have way out there prices?

my advice 2 u is change the motherboard if possible... AGP days are long gone... 9600 is ok, performance will definitly depend on ur cpu and amount of RAM. An 8800 gts is better btw.

I agree with the guy above. It's time to move on to PCIe. Then just buy a nice/cheap card like the HD4850.

My bad guys, I have PCI-E. So that wouldn't work anyways. Well since I have PCI-E what are some good decently priced cards that will play most games on my computer for awhile.

Just make sure you have an extraction fan,,,that will be enough to get by.

How do I know if I have an extraction fan? Or does basically every computer have one?
