Advice, new video card

[Ian]

Need a new video card, need some help, but i have 3 requirements.

1. Must be AGP.
2. Must be low profile
3. Must be from a decent retailer, i don't want some $rand website from google that no one has used before.

optional 4th, Nvidia card please!

I'm hoping something one of you guys use that i never have may have something

most likely it will be cheaper or similar, and more powerful to upgrade to a board with integrated nvidia graphics. You can get a board supporting ide, with old amd support + enough graphics for OS special effects for £30 new. You can get an old amd processor for pennies. Buying AGP you will be paying legacy prices, and get f all for your money.

The board in an intel, core 2 duo CPU, plus that wont work as its a propriety HP case and PSU.

core 2 duo with only agp support. Must be a sever?

nah its a business line PC. whipped from my old work, good spec bar the card. Small form factor, hence why i cant get a new mobo.

 

[richj]

my adnive you would

take the processor,

buy a motherboard with good graphics,

rebuild

enjoy

but then i'd need a case, a PSU, need to find a board for older RAM. plus im giving it to someone as a present, i dont want to spend a fortune. I seem to have found one now, at a local PC shop, 7300GT. Not amazing, but it'll run source.
