| Hey guys. I have a friend without an AGP slot. No worries, the rest of the machine is nice. We're looking at upgrading his video card, and we need to know the best PCI video card we can get. PCI, not PCI-X. We found an FX5700, but we're looking to see if we can do better. Thanks. | ||

| I need to Confirm with email | That sounds like it might be it, the newest PCI graphics card I've ever seen was definately a GeForceFX something or other. ATi had stopped updating their PCI line long before then. A more interesting question might be "Whats the best ISA video card... EVER?" (not the kind that have to use both PCI and ISA at the same time)... I have a 486 that needs pimping. I'm not sure if it has any of the enhancements they added into ISA prior to PCI coming out but I can look into it. Luckily it has 3 16-bit ports instead of the older 8-bit (shorter) ones. | |

| Apex Techie Wannabe | This Card is a 256 mb PCI card, it seems pretty nice, personally I prefer ATI to Nvidia, I dont quite know why... but I just do edit:Thats a canadian site btw, so you might have to go on www.pricegrabber.com and find it, it's the card my friend uses and he gets pretty good graphics (Counter-Strike source on medium-low quality etc) But you should really look into upgrading to an AGP motherboard, or even better a 775 slot PCI-X. | |
