I have a question

[crash169]

well, im looking forward to getting a new vid card for my extremely crappy comp. celeron 500mhz 320mb sd ram intel 810 graphics controller vid card..

Ok now here's the question...if i were to buy a pci ddr vid card... would it work on my comp with my sd ram?¿and if so... does anyone know where i can get a good one... say like a gf3ti200?

thx for your help :)

DDR vid cards work with both SDR and DDR system RAM.


However, the Gf3Ti200's in PCI mode, will be a bigger issue.... i'm not sure of they exist, if they do they will be rare.


If you don't have an AGP port, then I suppose you will be looking at a GF2MX or one of the scarce GF4MX's in PCI mode.



Really, don't expect to get massive graphical performance from a PCI vid card coupled with a 500Mhz celery.

I just think buying a new vid card, well anything above a Gf2MX4** for that system is a waste, I'd get a new system totally.

well i new i was f'ed in the first place lol.... my comp has an onboard vid card using my agp slot... it sux

[crash169]

well thx anyway... the whole reason is that i have no cash for a new comp...

Check in BIOS that you can disable the onboard graphics before you buy.

If you still really really want a new vid card, get a Gf2MX, anything above that will be to powerful for your processor. Also they are cheap, and still run many games reasonably (with decent CPU's anyway).

ok thx for the help man... i appreciate it... especially this late lol.

I dont think you will get a ddr pci card!!
:confused:
I think the best pci card is the GF 4mx 440 64mb!!!!
