Thanks again Nicky,

Here's one I found in my neck of the woods...

So I could simply just unplug the old one and plug this one in the same PCI slot and be on my mary way?

Cheers,

Hi Will ,

I guess your momentary Video card  ( ATI 9250pro ) gots an bustype called AGP ( slot version )

check it via everest Home under the folder  between server and multimedia .
sorry do have german everest here ...
 subfolders name then is GPU ... on right hand window search for bustype.

could be PCIe or AGP only .


The Video card you found at your ebay is an PCIe one . Wont fit to an mainboard have AGP slot on .


sorry : my post with that UK-ebay wasnt ment as a hint directly to you , as I got the imagination your running AGP slot mainboard

regards

I have an X1950Pro AGP which will be going on eBay soon. I killed my cpu/mainboard and will be re-building with a new PCIe MB. I can let you know when it goes on, or you can make me a good offer. I have just been watching one on eBay to see what I might get and it went for £74. Good AGP cards are in demand I think?

[Will Tway]

Bus Type   AGP 4x @ 4x

Thanks Nicky. It is in fact an AGP. Maybe I'll search for an upgrade or keeping saving my pennies for a new computer. Only problem with that is, it may be a couple of years as I'm using all my pennies for food at the moment.  :'(

Ken,

Thanks for the link. Program works great and is shows I have vsync off!!!

Cheers,

Will

Ken, I just read your post. Let me read up on your card and maybe make an offer but I don't want to waste your time as it may not be in my budget right now. Thanks for the thought.

Ken ,
 thx for the link


Will ,



following that chart  :  http://www.3dchip.de/Grafikchipliste/Leistung_Graka.htm#top 

I would look only for : ATI X850XT PE, X800XT PE , X800XT , X800XL
                             NVIDIA 7800GT , 7800GS , 6800Ultra ,6800GT ,6800GS

and wont spent more then 40US$

no qustion that ATI 1950pro is the top end of the line AGP card...
(havnt found any ATI 1900GT  as AGP version  ) .

as US-ebay fine search seems to be pretty unorganized make sure its really an AGP card....

regards NickyIckx

[Will Tway]

Right on Nicky,

I've bookmarked several and they all seem to go for 50US on up....I'm keeping my eye on this one at the moment....

Thanks again for all the help. I think this will be my last upgrade before giving this old Pentium to the kids.....

Cheers,

Will
