Well, I've finally saved up enough money to buy a new video card, but I've realized I haven't a clue what I'm looking for!
What I DO know: I'm looking for a cheap one, but still good enough to play Warcraft III, World of Warcraft, etc. Probably 128mb of RAM, though 64mb might do. I know that the video card is limited by the kind of AGP slot my motherboard has, which is a "universal slot". I have no idea what that means though... <_< Hopefully it means anything will fit
I know that it's not necessarily how many megabytes of RAM, but also depends on processor speed (videocards have processers? :huh:) I also think I know that some of the good ones need good CPU's to work. Is that right?
Well, in case this is needed for anything, my CPU is an Athlon 800.
So... I guess what I'm asking is: Which video cards fit in a "universal slot", are fast, and fairly inexpensive?
I'm looking at less than $100 Canadian for sure. Probably around $80, if possible.
Well, thanks for any help!
