Looking for a graphics card (in Off-topic)

as i said looking for a decent graphics card for my comp..price is going to be a concern however my comp is not great so it won't support really high-end cards anyway. Primarily looking for something to run a few lower-end MMORPGs (Cabal, Runes of Magic, etc)

Well here are my comp specs: (if anything else is needed just ask)
Win XP Home 5.1, Build 2600
Intel Celeron 2.4 GHz
1278MB RAM

any help would be appreciated and there may be a gift if one is found that is really good for my needs

You need to identify the bus type for your motherboard, if all those words just turned into a blur I suggest taking a picture and posting it here along with any additional information about the build of your machine.

Aye. There's a concern you could be limited to AGP.

lol soz for not including it to begin with

PCI:33MHz
120pin connectors

I'm having a hard time getting how you've got a 2.4g celery and no AGP slot... picture?

So it's PCI standard, predating AGP. You won't have many options. Off the top of my head, I think the best card you'll find for that is a 256MB NVidia GeForce FX 5500. It'll handle Half Life 2. Beyond that, good luck...

Get someone else to confirm it, though. That's just me thinking back to when I had to buy one.

Nov, one of my PCs is a 2004 Dell pushing 3.0 GHz with PCI standard. Anytime you hear me bash Dell, that's why.

AGP came out in like 98'

And Dell unloads crappy components when they don't have to disclose MB data.

I can also vouch that the card I listed handles Cabal Online without a problem, as I played it on that specific PC. I doubt it's CPU intensive, so you'll be fine. As for cost, you're looking at $35 total through Ebay.

Well looks like i have my answer.

Just for the record its a dell :(

Thanks for the info demi will start looking for the card now

GeForce FX 5500

it rules. i've runed a lot of games in this card in 5 years of my game life... gta, fifa ... cs, more than 50 games.
of course some new games u wont.

You could always build a noticeably better entire machine from scratch relatively cheaply, 350-ish USD or thereabouts.
Heck, you can find halfway decent almost-gaming laptops for about 450-ish USD already.
Now, depends if you can find a sucker to buy your old machine used or not :)

I just brought a NVIDIA GeForce 9800 GT, got it for $72, comes with a $30 rebate from Micro Center.

That's PCI-E. While far better, no amount of duct tape will make it connect to his PC.
