Wanted: AGP video card from this century? - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

Dean · 2007-11-05, 11:02 AM

This thread's only purpose other than looking for a video card is to amuse Austin.

Sue brought her PC up this weekend so I could take a look at why it is "slow".

Well, it only has 512mb memory of which 128 is being used by the on-board video. Wonder if running XP in 384MB with a system tray full of icons and a fragmented HD could be an issue.

Going to throw another 512MB of PC3200 in but was wondering if anybody had a spare remotely recent AGP card lying around for her. The only spare AGP cards I have are from 1999 and before.

Doesn't have to run Vista or anything, just be faster than a a 1999 ATI Rage Pro.

Thanks
