Are you a gamer? if so you need a new system, otehrwise get a budget card like the nvidia 6200(agP)

 

no i dont play alot of games

only 2 i play is age of empires and comand and concore

the card ime running at the moment is around same power as the radeon 9250 128mb so was looking for something a bit better.


ille have a look at the nvidia 6200(agP) thanks

 

You might need a new power supply aswell. Just thought I would add that.
