AGP Graphic card

borat · 19-04-2008, 12:56 AM

I'm looking for a graphic card that supports atleast directX 9 so i can play team fortress 2. The graphics card must also be AGP with DDR memory. I'm looking for a price around $60 maximum. Any good suggestions? (I'd prefer nVidia.)

Also, does it matter if the graphic card has ddr2 memory? Will my computer still be able to support it if it has ddr2 memory?

EDIT: So far, these are the ones I've found, let me know if their worth the plunge so i can play Orange Box games.

Your video card's RAM is independent of your system RAM, so it is not necessary to match them up.

It's not retail, but something like this [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814141026R]6800XT would be worlds of difference from the 6200's you've been looking at. Addtionally, a 7600GS or 7600GT would be a nice bang for the money if you look around a little bit. A few can be had for just a tad more and would also be a marked improvement over the 6200's.

One problem, I took out my graphics card and matched the blade sequence (those things on the bottom of the graphic card that snap into the slot) with the 6800 XT, they don't match up. Would that be a problem?

Well, if the specs you've listed are the same system we're discussing, then it should work fine.
