RoxStar Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 I am in the market for a new video card for my computer. I have an Emachines computer with 1.2 ghz 128mb of ram and Windows XP. I currently have an Intel onboard graphics card so anything would be better. I am looking for something south of $80 so It can't be too expensive. I was looking at Compusa's selection and it looks pretty good. I might buy a Mad Dog. Do you guys have any comments? btw I'm going to play jk2, ja, America's Army, and SimCity4 on it.

DarkLord60 Posted December 26, 2003 Share Posted December 26, 2003 Fisrt of all if you have integated vid card that means you wont have AGP, sometimes. So are you looking for AGP or PCI? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoxStar Posted December 27, 2003 Author Share Posted December 27, 2003 So should I spring for a new motherboard? And why is PCI so bad? EDIT: I am sooooo stupid. I just realized that I have an AGP motherboard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfnshannon Posted December 29, 2003 Share Posted December 29, 2003 all I saw was e-machine.... I hope it all works out for you.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastcoast2895 Posted December 30, 2003 Share Posted December 30, 2003 i also suggest getting some more ram. unless you are not planning to get any of the new high end games, 128 mb of ram is going to hurt you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
