should i get this video card

no you shouldn't, the geforce 5 series is very bad, and by today standards its like powering you PC with cooking oil, its not worth any moneyfoggy666

which card should i get for a low price im only 13 and low on money

If you have $80 and pci-e x16 slot then I recommand Geforce 8600gt. Private_Adam

how can i find out if i have a pci-e x16

[QUOTE="Private_Adam"]If you have $80 and pci-e x16 slot then I recommand Geforce 8600gt. Enraged_Bannana

how can i find out if i have a pci-e x16

1. download this program CPU-Z
2. click on the Mainboard tab
3. look at the "Graphics Interface"

for instance I have PCI-e x16, you might have AGP or even PCI, all that determine what graphics card you can put,
also what CPU do you have, again using the same program, only the CPU tab

how do i upload the everest html file?

if it doesn't say anything, then it's probably integrated.Strifebringer

what does that mean. i need a new pc?

You still didn't answer an original question, how much money do you have to spend?simardbrad

i have about 25 dollars and stuff to sell ill have about 85 after i sell the stuff

Just tell us your computer model, we can find you a good graphics card then. charrr1234

what do you mean by computer model? how can i find that?

just right click on the desktop and go to properties (if you are using Window XP) it should tell your display adapter or if you right click on My Computer and go to properties it should tell you the model of your computerMedjai

display: plug and play moniter on intel 82845g/gl/ge/pe/gv Graphics Controller

the other thing: IBM Corporation Intel Pentium 4 CPU 2.53 GHz, 2.52 GHz 512mb of RAM

Look at the back and front of your PC for stickers and post what you find.charrr1234

on front it says intel inside pentium 4, designed for microsoft windows xp, and mt-m: 8311-cto, s/n: klxmp2l

i edit this post once i check back

Your computer is a IBM NetVista 8311.

You got an AGP slot.

from the reviews on that it sounds like that card is a complete waste of money. are there any other other good cards that can can be plugged into an agp slot. on the back of my pc there was the serial number. do you need that

How old is your computer?

Can you pelase just give us ALL the information that you can find?

From the looks of it, if you have half a gig of ram, i really doubt your computer can be upgraded for 85 bucks...>_>

-_-; how much did you spend to buy this computer?

And what games do you plan on playing?

Just my opinion, but i'd rather just buy a new computer(cheap,if you want) than build THAT up to make it a gaming computer..And if your 13, you better hope your rich(>_>), or you better tell all your relatives you need money instead of gifts during the holidays..Or work,thats a better choice.

Explains.

IDK,ask alot of other people.I'm not much of an expert my self.Just know that my comp is better than yours, and i need to spend about 85 bucks to get a sucky videocard+PSU.

I thought they made an ati 3850 agp model, if it exists get that, its as good as its going to get with AGP.albi321

they do exsist! can my computer run one of those? i hope so people are playing crysis pretty smoothly with that card. look it up on youtube.

I doubt your computer has the power for a 3850. Just get something like this HD2600. There's no sense spending a lot of money on your computer, it being obsolete by several generations.

You've said that to EVERY card we've posted.

Just because it says it in the review, dosen't mean its going to happen.

And you still haevn't awnsered my questions..WHAT GAMES ARE YOU TRYING TO PLAY?

I already told you, your better off geting a new computer. Theres pretty much no way you can get your computer to run anything more than cs with 85 bucks -_-..
