New vidcard for old system

[Harry_Beast]

My old system that is used for surfing the net and a few older games, has fried its card.
The system is a PIII 667 133bus.The current card is a GF V6800 32mb AGP
---The mobo is an Asus P3V4X
What would a good replacement for this card be?
Oh .and it only has a 230v PS.and the OS is WIN98se!
Any info would be appreciated--I have been looking on-line but the sites aren't giving up the system requirements for their cards!

We need to know what mobo you have in order to find out its agp speed!!!!

I edited original thread--added mobo--Asus P3V4X
(FutureShop has a BFG GeForce 5500-OC 256 for $70.00)

I'm not sure but i think your mobo is an agp x4!!
Have a look in your mobo manual to make sure!!
Which ever card you choose it MUST be compliant with your agp port speed!!!!

Yes, that has an AGP 4x slot which isn't a big deal as most AGP 8x cards will also work in AGP 4x mode.

I'd say a Radeon 9250, 9550 or 9600 Pro would be good. All would be a bit overpowered for that system, but would have very nice color, performance and features for playing a few games while also having good support for some multimedia use (watching videos, dvd's and stuff).

Edit- here's some pricing at NewEgg if you're in the US:
9550 - $49.99

A Geforce 4 MX would be ideal for u.

In conclusion, I installed a GeForce 5500oc and a 300wPsu.System working fine!
