I need a cheap video card.

[thisguy12]

I have a Dell 3000. It comes with some intergrated graphics crap so I'm not able to play a lot of games that I would like. I was planning on buying a new video card but to my dismay, my mother board did not have an agp slot. I found that my choices were extremely limited to low end models. I'm considering these.

My second option is to buy this cheap motherboard that has an agp slot and buy agp video card. Both things together have to be around $100. I can't afford to buy anything more expensive.
This is the motherboard I'm looking at.

I think I narrowed down my choices down to these agp video cards.

well depending on what games you like to play, if you want to do bf2 or any newer games you better off gonig with the new agp board ant the 9600xt imo

I agree with swker98, get the mainboard and the 9600XT. I have one and it works perfectly for me.
I use my PC only for gaming and it delivers very good performance.
I don´t mind playing at 800*600 :suspiciou

you may also want to add ram depending on how much you have, you need atlest 512 mb of ram to tget decent fps in games

or even 1GB, to get the best loading times and frame rates!

cool, thanks for the suggestion.
