ATI Radeon 9200 Video Card / 128MB / AGP 8X / TV Out & RCA

This one is the best out of all of them, but I would suggest getting a 9600 pro for 150$.

Ok thanks. I was thinking the radeon ones were better. But the other radeon has 256 mb and is cheaper. I don't know too much about them but what makes that other one better? the max resolution is higher? or the company that made it? but thanks i'll check the 9600.

9800 pro is obviouslly the best one out there right now. If you want the best chip, get the high # radeon chip,lol. Dont forget to get the pro on it though!!

Better yet if you don't know what you are talking about... KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT!

Before I can recommend you a card you need to tell me three things first.

1. Most important question (should be easy to answer). Do you have an AGP slot?

2. Your specs. This is needed to see what your PC can and cannot handle. For example having a Pentium 4 processor compared to a celeron, you would be in two different ball parks.

3. What is your budget?

I have an AGP slot.
I'm not actually sure about the maximum the mother board will take but it is a 933 mhz (not too good)processor. I will have to see if I got a book with it. ( I got this computer used)

Maybe you should get a new mobo/processor first(AMD=CHEAP AND SECKZY). You may can find one compatible with your ram too... ,but I would definetly get the mobo/processor first since yours is really ageing ba :\... or get a 9600XT(128 is faster then the 256) for 15X$ at newegg.com or even a 9600pro for 135-150$ at newegg.com OR you can just go ultra expensive and get a 9800XT... or hell might as well say another... a 9700PRO-9800 for 200$-240$ ,and then near next year buy a new mobo/processor ect...

Download Aida32 (google it) and tell me the specs. Also what is your budget. Really hard to recommend you a card without specs and budget.

is it the motherboard specs you want? I got a big list of different things.

And I don't want to spend too much, maybe around 150$ Canadian as a max.(lol I know it's not much) If there isn't a good card for that I will most likely wait and save up. Thats about 112 dollars US according to an online currency converter ( I don't know the rate so I don't know how close that is.)
