Help...Need Recommendation Please
One of the components of a desktop computer that I have never been able to
fully understand and especially why there is such a broad quality/price range, is the video card. Especially AGP DDR cards. I currently am using a ATI Rage Fury Pro 2000 AGP and am building another computer so, I'm trying to make sense of it all. Can anyone here recommend a 4 or 8X DDR card that is the most bang for the buck under $100.00. I'm not a gamer but I would like to improve on what I'm using now. Sorry if I have made anyone mad by asking this here. Thanks, Joe |

from my understanding there is no difference between 4x and 8x agp in terms
of performance i don't think any motherboards yet take full advantage of the 8x bandwidth. For around $100 i think your probably wanting to look at the gf ti4200 series these are probably best bang for the buck :-) Later.
