Video card

[Bob]

I have to buy a new video card. the old one was an Asus (very old) and had
an auxiliary power cord on the rear. I can't have that with this computer.

I'm looking for a 1meg card. I'm looking at

for $65.

What do you guys think? I'm not buying a super-do card for over $100.

Thanks
Bob

If your current graphics card is "very old", are you sure that you can use a
PCI-Express card? (It's entirely different from PCI; physically
incompatible.) Most of the cards I've seen that required a separate power
connection were PCI-E, but some were AGP.

What's your motherboard (or system)?

What is your main application? 1 GB of video RAM is mainly of use for 3D
stuff, with high resolution monitors. I'm not sure that there's much to be
gained by having a huge amount of VRAM with a card that isn't a "super-do"
one.

What's the spec of the old card?
