Your might want to open up your Piece of Shi+ computer to see if it has a onboard video card.
If it does, make sure it has an extra AGP slot, cause if it doesn't your suck with a Geforce 2 PCI, which still isn't that bad of a card. |

Quoted: Your might want to open up your Piece of Shi+ computer ... now that's uncalled for. however, you do bring up a good point about slots on the motherboard. Geforce 3 is a very good choice if you have an agp slot. Consult your motherboard/computer owners manual for compatability issues. |

Yeah, even looking up the stats on the internet it will obviously show that you have an AGP-based video card, but it could possibly be one that's soldered to the motherboard.
If it's soldered to the motherboard, then the GeForce 2 MX PCI is best one you can choose. If you have an AGP slot, then the GeForce 3 is quite a bit faster than the GeForce 2-based cards. There's a "GeForce 4" in the works, but may be a number of months before it's released. The ATI RADEON 8500 is getting good reviews, but I haven't worked with that card. |

First see if you have an AGP slot, and if your video card is onboard video.
If you have an AGP slot, get a Geforce 3 if you can afford it, otherwise Best Buy is selling 64meg Geforce 2 cards for $99. Remember to disable the onboard video when before you install your new card, otherwise you might be staring at a black screen after the BIOS check. Av. |

I upgraded from an NVidia TNT2 to a NVidia Gforce3 Ti200 - HUGE difference. Way, way faster. The Ti500 is a bit (10%) faster, but a lot more money than the Ti200
Go to [url]www.nvidia.com[/url] and look up the graphics cards. Under that, there is an ANALYZE MY PC that will tell you what % of performance increase you will get. Radeon 8500 is expensive, fast, and is having some driver problems. |
