What video Card do i need?!?!?!?

[webber22]

I don't know a lot about computers but i want a computer just for playing small old games. I am going to buy an Nvidia graphics card but i have a problem... I don't know which one i need. I have 1 AGP slot. I also know my computer is a Dell Optiplex GX270 pentium 4 (low profile) My budget is $60. I would like at least a 256 MB card. please tell me if this is also a decent gaming computer for old games.

my specs are: 2.8 GHZ Pentium 4 processor
3 GB Ram
250 GB HDD
And soon to be video card

Don't even attempt to run anything modern on it. If you're playing stuff like counterstrike source you should be alright.

As for a GPU, it might be better for an ATI one as they did more low profile cards in that era i think.

that's the best you're going to get i think.

I have one of those GX270 as well. Another option is to use one of your standard pci slots for a gpu. might give you some more options
