I got an motherboard with AGP 8x slot. I currently have a Geforce FX5200 256 mb. I’m looking to upgrade. I want to stay with Geforce and at least 256 mb. Any particular brands to get or stay away from and which model? Thanks:carnut ---

Wait, you’re buying a new computer and it only has an 8x AGP slot? That doesnt make sense. Edit: Price range? ---

I own a computer with an AGP slot and I don’t plan on upgrading my computer anytime soon. I just need a better graphics card. Any price. ---

Nope. They actually just released the ATI 3850HD in AGP.Runs around $200. Since you like NVidia i’d keep an eye out for… 7800GS 6800 series cards…best bet $50-$80 on eBay.
