Newbie Question
I apologize for posting such an obvious newbie question, but even after sifting through the archives and doing some research, I feel lost. I have no idea what some of these specification mean and, more importantly, which will matter to me.
I'm looking to enhance my on-line gaming experience (Counter-Strike and C&C Renegade, mostly). I would like to put a 3D graphics accelerator in my machine - a Dell Precision running a PIII @ 866MHz, 128M RAM.
I have never upgraded a video card before and really don't think that I have a need for the latest and greatest. What I would like to find is a good upgrade from the resident NVIDIA TNT2 Pro 16 MB 4XAGP for a good price.
Basically, I need a budget card and would like to spend the least amount of money while still getting some bang for my buck.
Any suggestions in the price range of $99.00 or lower? Will I even get noticeable results for that kind of money?
Thanks in advance for your help.
