    Hiyers! I just want to ask if you could recommend or suggest me a video card model. It should be compatible with Pentium III. In my computer, I only have ATI 3D-Rage XL Video Adapter which is really slow. It's size is about 4 MB only. When I'm viewing image, it's really slow. Can you suggest any video card for me? Please! :)

    We'll need to know a few things first:

    First, what motherboard do you have? If you don't know, you can download and run a program called Everest which will tell you everything you need to know about the hardware in your computer. http://www.majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4181

    Secondly, you'll need to tell us what you use your computer for. What games do you play and what exactly do you want to accomplish with this upgrade?

    Thirdly, what is the budget, and where are you located?

    Ok, that's not the motherboard model... How about the model of your HP? (i.e. HP Pavilion a1520e)

    But there is also a Rage XL PCI video card. We need to be sure that he has an AGP slot before recommending an AGP card.
