I have been using onboard grpahics for years but want to change up to a AGP card. My MB accepts the following types of cards only:

AGP 4X/8X

1.5 V only

I'm looking to spend about £35.

Any good recommendations?

btw: it needs to be able to support MPEG DVD thing coz when I play DVDs atm, its very slow and not good.

Never be afraid to do your best work and let the

world enjoy it.

Never let someone tell you not to try something because it's stupid.


Turn off the recommended settings.


Break your computer and learn to fix it.

Hi,

1. Would GDDR2 SDRAM graphics work in my MB (AS Rock K7S41)?

2. They both 1.5 V?

Yup.

Go for the 7600 if you can.

quick question, the 7600GS, I notice that this card is made by several companies, is there something special about the Innovision GeForce 7600GS 256MB DDR2 AGP Graphics Card or any 7600GS 256MB DDR2 AGP are all the same?
