lol i had a 9600pro in my computer 5 freaking years ago. its been replaced by 4 newer computers at home, yet is still in use at work.

Correct, apparently he made a mistake and didnt think about it being agp.

To people not knowing, agp cards do not fit in a pci express slot.

I will have to tell him, i thought that was funny. Yeah it is a Pos too.

What card do you recommend for that budget or near it?

The General · 05-26-2006, 02:43 AM

i'd go with a 7600gt on a loose budget, 6600gt on a really tight budget

Well i was thinking something like something $50 or so for a vidoe card its just simple video editing.
