| Hello My video card, an ATI X1550, died recently and as a result I am forced to buy a new one however I do not know which one to buy. I am looking for an AGP compatible video card with at least 512mb of RAM and my budget is $50-$150. Currently I have a Pentium IV of 3.06 GHZ, 1536mb of RAM, an old Geforce 4, and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition 32 bit version. I have seen some potential video cards like these ones: ATI Radeon X1600 Pro 512 MB AGP or XFX GeForce 6200 512MB GDDR2 AGP 8x Video Card. I really need to know which is the appropiate video card. Any sugestions will be appreciated. Thank you |

| Only other video card I could suggest is the: BFG Tech BFGE73512GT GeForce 7300GT 512MB 128-bit GDDR2 AGP 4X/8X Video Card It comes with a fan whereas the 6200 does not. The 7300GT is 74.99 on NewEgg. It also has 8 Pixel Pipelines whereas the 6200 only has 4. The amount of pixel pipelines a graphics card has can have a great impact on the speed of the image rendering. The more pixel pipelines, the faster the video card can process pixels. A card with eight pipelines can process twice as many pixels as a card of the same speed with four pipelines. Only downside is it doesn't have DirectX10 Support whereas the SAPPHIRE 100228L Radeon HD 3850 512MB that WindowsGuru suggested does. So it's really up to you. Hope that helps.
