thanks,
The help is appreciated. Just another question?

I have another machine that is an AMD Athlon 1.4Ghz that has a Nvidia
Gforce3 Ti200 (ASUS) in it. This machine runs great at the moment but i am
starting to notice it slipping in a few areas. Could anyone reccommend a
good graphics card to buy. I obviously dont want to pay about £200 to £300
but mayb about £100 - 150 etc...
A friend of mine has got an Geforce FX 5600! is that a good enough card
to get?

Thanking you in advance,

Ben Nealon

P.S - the machine onlys supports agp 4x, but i am hopefully looking at
upgrading to a 2ghz (mayb more) and 512mb ram with new mb that should
support AGP 8x

P.P.S - I heard a while ago about AGP Pro? what is this and is it about? is
AGP 8 better? or maybe a replacement?

Hi,
I have a computer that is of the following spec: Duron 700Mhz and

256mb
Pc133 Ram. The computer sadly only has a 2x AGP port. Now i have two
graphics cards:

Nvidia Riva TNT2 M64 AGP
3DFX Voodoo4 4500 AGP

I want the machine to be used for game playing (this computer is a spare
computer i have put together) Which of the above graphcis cards do you

think
i shoudl use in the machine. I obviously want the best compatability

with
good/latest games - and obviously the maximum performance i can push

from
the system. If you have any of these cards could you please also advise

on
any 'Top Performing' Drivers.
I am using Windows XP Professional on the system,

Thanking you in advance,

Ben Nealon

P.S - Do most recent-ish games not supprt the 3DFX Chipset anymore?
