No, do not get the 9250. For around $70 you can get the 9600 pro and overclock/flash to xt.

the 9250 isn't really good, if you want a decent card, save up maybe $150-$300

Are you looking for PCI-e or AGP cards?

 

[skidude]

Try this one for an AGP card

9600XT for ~$70 i would think.

If you can stretch it though, a 9800 series card is ~$100 naw a days i thought. Might be worth it.

can you be more exact on the model of the HP? or tell us whether its agp or pci-e would be nice

 

[skidude]

If you really do want to fork over an extra 20 bucks, go for a 9800 instead of a 9600XT..

its PCI slot

 

[skidude]

Does your motherboard have that red colored slot in yours (yours may not be red, but is it in the same place, like is it slightly set back??). If so, that means you have either an AGP or PCI-E slot. You said you have a PCI slot, well, all PC's have PCI slots, so it is really important to see if you have that red slot, or if you just have PCI slots (the white ones).

He said he had a pci slot. In that case, look for nvidia 5500 cards that are 128-bit. believe there's a pny one at newegg.com for $99ish.

He said he had a pci slot.

Wow, his computer must be very old if he uses a PCI slot for his vid. card. I thouht he messed up and meant to say PCI-E, which is why I made that other post.

Theres new modern computers as well lacking both PCI-Express & AGP.

 

[skidude]

Wow, I have never seen one...
