I am slowly replacing components. Most imminent is a decent graphics adapter. Right now I have got an ATI Radeon 7000 with 32MB of RAM. It seems sluggish and sometimes images don’t get displayed. I think I am ready to move on. I have done well with both nVidia & ATI adapters, in the past. Apparently ISA and PCI graphic cards are out, AGP is on its way out, and I have no idea what is a PCI Express or a Crossfire. The on-board video accelerator is puny. Here is my MB: <http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/spec/865pedap.html>http://www.jetwaycomputer.com/spec/865pedap.html I am not much of a gamester anymore, so most of my applications revolve around more mundane uses. Latest fun is with family-related video production. Nothing fancy, mind you. Some conversion of mpegs or VHS analog to DVD Video, slide shows… like that. I block most of the Flash and animations on the Web, so that doesn’t matter that much to me. Still, even with the meager video requirements I have, I know I could stand a bit more video juice. When I get to 40 or so slides, a couple of video clips, things start creaking. What would be a decent card that would serve me well for a couple of years? I am looking at a PNY Verto GeForce 6200 or the ATI Radeon 9600 XT, both of which I can get for around $70, for the 256MB version. The AGP slot on the MoBo supports 1.5V 4x/8x AGP. Any thoughts, experiences, suggestions? TIA Andrew PCBUILD's List Owners: Bob Wright<[log in to unmask]> Drew Dunn<[log in to unmask]>
