AGP CARD Select

layzee · 11-22-2007, 08:35 AM

Hey guys,

Its about time I upgraded my video card again. I'm looking to spend about at most $150 on a video card. So, I was wonder what is the BEST video card POSSIBLE for this budget. I was hoping it would run CoD4 on say medium settings if possible

. Also, I need something that wouldn't overheat like crazy since I have a small case with somewhat poor ventilation.

Specs:
300 Gb hd
1 gb ram -> upgrading to 1.5 or 2 by the end of the week.
250 psu -> upgrading to ~500W by the end of the week
2.6GHz Intel P4
ASUS P4SD-LA motherboard

I would say a 7600gt would fit that price range

Be aware if you have a big monitor some of the graphics cards are having compatibility problems, I've had the same problems with newer NVidia and ATI AGP cards with my 22" monitor which worked fine with my old 9600XT...
