Hi,

Havent got an AGP slot on the motherboard and can't afford a new PC.

Whats the best PCI (not PCI-E) card around? I have noticed the GeForce 5200 FX with 128MB DDR is seems pretty good.

Any others?

Thanks!

hey hellfire,

your best bet is to buy a new motherboard. a pci graphics card is expensive + its not really worth it.

all you'd need to do is buy a half decent motherboard + a AGP graphics card and then transfer all your old hard drives/processors, etc to the new motherboard. If your not much of a techie then, just stick with your current plans in buying a pci gfx card.

Are you a heavy games player, or is it just for normal office-type computing?

I got a Geforce MX-400 PCI (64MB) card because I was in the same situation. That seems to do the business for me.

Either NVidia GeForce FX 5200 or ATI Radeon R9250. Both 128Mb cards and both should be roughly the same sort of speed. Both available from ebuyer, the NVidia card is around

I know they cant match the latest cards but a 128 MB DDR with a 350 Mhz Core Processor still shouldnt be slow.

This is basically a quick fix until I can afford a new PC.

check reviews though cos i reckon the ATI will be faster than the 5200.
