Looking to Get a New Video Card
Hey, Figured I would look here for some advice for a new Video Card.
Ive got a P-4 2.2 ghz, 1 gig of ram, and my card atm is a Gforce ti 4600.
Ive got maybe like 100 to 200 dollars max to spend, and I need something thatll last me a good time, but not to expensive, will at least let me play Quake Wars Enemy Territory Pretty Well.
Any help would be awesome!

Guessing it might be a 1950, but see what chem says. ATI I believe has the best offering right now.

Mas, do you have AGP or PCIe? That'll help Chem make his decision

Do you know what card you have now? That'd probably tell Chem what kind it is

if he has a 4600 I am betting it is AGP :P
Nvidia has dropped their prices on the 8k budget line, not sure how those cards stack up but they are dx10.

My bet is you have AGP.
Pop the hatch and check the slot.
PCI are typically white, and AGP is brown
and a wee bit shorter.
You card was never made as a PCI-e (express)
which is the latest technology (tho AGP is still available)
