    need a card that will work with this ancient machine

    Ok, heres the scoop: I have an HP Pavilion 754n Pentium IV 2.53GHz 504mb RAM with an integrated Intel Extreme Graphics 64mb shared video mem (according to the stock specs) and i need one that will handle Final Fantasy XI... all my other system reqs meet up with the game except for the card... and my power supply leads to more limitations of such need as it is only 200w... the site that has a full list of compatible cards is here: http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/env...tml?pageID=win
    and i need to know if there is anyone out there that can help me move this POS into gear and what kind of card will run
    Thanks

    if its an AGP card, then its a simple solution. How much are you willing to spend on it?

    On the low side for $90

    for $175 and a much more powerful card there is this.

    If ya can scrape it up, i'd say the link linked up fizur posted ( raedon 3650 is about as good as your going to find for that rig. $89.00 is not expensive. if thats too high, then get ahold of a 7600GS or 7800GS. I also think i remember that the X1650 Pro model for ATI had a AGP offering for that card.
