All right sooooo... I'm almost done building my new PC, in fact it's ready yet, but I have a problem...
Me, in all my wisdom, thought that my old GeForce 4 (AGP 4X) could be used in the PCI slots of the new mobo. But NO, my GeForce 4 is not compatible with my new computer. Slap me please.
I need a new video card. It must be PCI-Express.
They're offering me a GeForce 6200 for approx 60 USD. Does anyone have this, and if so, how does it work for you guys?
Otherwise, what card would you recommend me? I don't want nothing super-ultra-mega powerful. I was thinking of a GeForce 6800, but I don't know.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. Can't fly until I get a video card

If you have an SLI Slot, which I believe you have, this card is the way to go for the budget minded person, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814130009 if you are not h e double toothpicked for the pipelines up and down, this card will give you a pretty good bang for the buck.

I don't think my mobo supports SLI, Anthony. It's an ASUS P5GVMX, like this one http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16813131586

I am with Anthony, I have a EVAG 7900 AGP with 256MB DDR3. It is an amzaing card with a lot of muscle. So EVGA is a good one.

Try visiting www.sharkyextreme.com and look up the reviews on the different monthly systems they have. Also, the vga charts on tomshardware.com are very useful.
