Best Option

I just upgraded my new PC to a x1950xt and now I need to upgrade the hand-me-down P4 to the kids. It is a Dell Dimension 4600 P4 with 1.5GB of Ram. It does NOT have a PCIe slot, so I am looking for AGP. I know this machine will not be a gamer....but I would like to update it a little.

Thoughts???

As an FYI....the current VC is a GeForce FX 5200 and the P4 is 2.8 mhz.

Thanks!

Well, what exactly do you want to do, that the machine can't currently do?

If you're not gaming, what do you want a better video card for?

He said it won't be a gamer not that it won't be for playing any games on. In otherwords his kids won't be playing games on it 24/7.

In all honesty though, head over to the FS forum and grab a 6600GT AGP card. They can be had for $50 or so and are decent performers.

Absolutely. I had the same computer and used a 6600gt in it. It can play almost anything you throw at it at lower resolutions and medium settings.
