November 25, 200322 yr actually im sorry that'll run you 85 bucks brand new from newegg http://www.newegg.com/app/viewproduct.asp?DEPA=1&submit=Go&description=ati%2C9200%2Cpci
November 25, 200322 yr 9200 is too slow from my experience.It id direct X 9 if I am not mistaken but still slow.What games are you into.?I need to know.......What is your computer Model number. You might not have an AGP slot.This is very important.
November 25, 200322 yr -Scorpio]I have no AGP slot, and fast paced games like FA. Model number is P7513A ^ thats why i suggested the 9200 128 MB ddr cause its pci thats the highest ati that i've found in pci edition there is an nvidia 5600fx 128mb DDR pci if i remember correctly not sure how much that will run you though
November 25, 200322 yr Well, the processor and RAM might be a bit of a bottleneck, as well as the PCI slot, the video card notwithstanding. Honestly I'd recommend waiting a while until PCI Express comes out, saving your money until then. Then buy a whole new system. With the new PCI Express, AGP will become obsolete. Until then, if you really need a replacement, go with what one of these fellas said. I'd also check www.pricewatch.com as well as www.newegg.com. Well...that's about all I have to say. Hope it helped!
November 25, 200322 yr yeah if you dont plan on building a whole new computer and dont wanna drop more than 100 i would recommend the 9200 128 mb ddr pci or the gf fx 5200 128 mb ddr pci both can be found on newegg.com
November 26, 200322 yr Well, your first problem is running that dang Celeron. *chuckle* I work with those dang things at work, and I've learned to despise the Celeron. Not as much as I despise those old Cyrix CPU's, but pretty dang close. I have considerably more service calls concerning performance issues from customers using our Intel Celeron powered computers than I do from the customers running AMD Athlons.ATI chipsets used to be a terrible choice, but that seems to have changed. Going on the advice of a trusted friend, I bought this Radeon 9000 with 128 megs of RAM. I haven't had any problems with it. And from what I've been hearing, that seems to be the norm. ATI seems to have finally got it together and made a quality product.At anyrate, I'm happy to hear you are working out your probs. Shoot, we all go thru them from time to time. *chuckle* My system has been getting increasingly unstable. It may be time for me to do a clean install soon. *cringe*
November 29, 200322 yr You have to make sure its the PCI one otherwise it wont be just use the link that i gave you up further in the post to buy it thats the cheapest i've found it brand new sorry bout that just found it for 69 not shipped on ebay brand new but yeah it should be compatible with your board all you will have to do is install the drivers heres the link for the ebay one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2768936892&category=40158
November 29, 200322 yr yeah, the XFX Geforce FX cards are pretty good and cheap if you've got AGP 4x or 8x
