sr1300nx video card upgrade

[jamesVVV]

I have a compaq sr1300nx and want to upgrade my video card. How can upgrade mine manually? i might get a Mad Dog ATI 7000 AGP 64 MB Graphics Card, but i dont know ho to upgrade it.

basically, you take the side off your computer, and slide the card in. You have an AGP slot in your computer, so you will need an AGP video card. Were you planning on playing many games?

yah i was planning on playing halo and world of warcraft

That wouldnt even be considered an upgrade. You have a fairly nice computer (sempron 3000+, 60GB HD, ect). the 7000 is extremely old and cant play any of the new games. If you want an upgrade, get at least the later model 9xxx series.

You cant play those games with a 7000.

Good luck playing a game at 5FPS.

wats a good video card that will play halo that is low cost?

 

[jamesVVV]

will the Mad Dog Dominator ATI Radeon 9550AGP 128 MB Graphics Card work?

 

[Geoff]

I would recommend a 9600XT 256MB for around $70.

 

[jamesVVV]

anything under 60?

anything under 60?

Whats the big deal with spending $10 more? The 9600XT is a great card.

Walmart (as well as other retail stores) really overcharge for there video cards. The one i was talking about is online at www.newegg.com.

well my parents dont really let me order stuff online but will this work?http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=4457125
if not can you suggest something from the walmart website?

 

[Geoff]

Thats a decent card for the price, probably the best your going to find there.
