Help Me find a Graphics Card!
« on: April 17, 2008, 03:28:42 am »
Well, currently, I have a terrible on-board 64mb graphics card, and I'm looking for a new one.

Although, I'm having trouble finding one, and the possibilities are small. It needs to have a VGA output, be low profile and be AGP.

My budget is around $90 AUD, including shipping (to australia), so I'm not sure if it will be possible to find what I'm looking for.

So, what I'm asking of you is if you could possibly take some time and help me solve my problem.

Thanks in advance...

HD2600pro is a good card. My brother bought it when it was on sale and loves it. You have to download the drivers of the company's website because the drivers in the cd don't work.

Make sure if you buy this card, blake, that you also get a DVI to VGA adapter.

Most cards come standard with an adapter for each dvi port on the card

Thanks for the help but unfortunately, it isn't low profile, and it's a bit out of my price range...

$90 for a agp card is a tall order, AGP cards are actually more expensive than much better pci-e cards atm
