AGP 4x?

[gjpeterson]

My girlfriend has a hp 522c with a 4x agp slot in it. It currently has a geforce 5200 128mb in it at the moment. Is there a better card for an AGP 4x slot that is around 50-80 dollars?

Any card that's AGP will work fine. I'm not sure what all's avaliable anymore in that range, but yeah, any AGP card will work fine.

You can aget a 7800 AGp

I think that's just a tad over their $50-$80 mark

 

[Motoxrdude]

9600XT are alright cards in your price range.

So would how would something like a ati 9600 compare to a nvidia
5200?

 

[The_Other_One]

The 9600 is only slightly better. I'm using the plain 9600 128M, not the SE, PRO, or XT...

Well thanks for the info. Appreciate it.

the 9600 is a good bit better than the FX5200, it's even better than the FX5500. Worth the money? probably not
