good idea?

[Uaintseenme]

Ok first of all, my shitty specs.;

2g processor
256 mb RAMM
built-in POS videocard that can burn in hell
double cd-roms that failed to work at exactly the same time a few months back and i'm speculating whether or not i should buy new IDE cables or not

Now, would it be a good idea to buy this - Sapphire RADEON 9250 256MB DDR PCI DVI/TVO

Since I don't have an AGP slot and most games that are coming out and/or that I want to play require TnL, I'm thinking I should buy it. It's cheap as hell too.

I don't know, what do you think?

get a life and get back with us...

PCI GPU = :icon13:

Swap the M/B. Then upgrade to a AGP GPU. PCI isnt worth it.

hmmm, PCIe > AGP mmk

[Uaintseenme]

What're the critical differences between pci and agp? If it really is worth the couple hundred dollars for a new mobo and a new agp card, then maybe I'll consider it. But I think it would be just as easy as buying that Sapphire.

PCI Express is faster than AGP

[bork[e]]

Only sometimes though.

hmmm, PCIe > AGP mmk

Yes but he wasnt suggesting PCIe, and neither was I.

AGP>PCI
PCIe>AGP

mmmk :P

not a worthwhile investment
save up and get a amd 2500 setup

No, that video card, is a peice of shit..

9600, 6600, 9800, keep away from numbers with 50s in them, :icon19:

i have one in my mame machine.. while its GOOD for mame, it sucks for anything other than mame..

Can't seem to find anything that's better than that, that isn't a damn agp :icon33:

PCI Express is faster than AGP

its true yknow
agp only goes to 8x. PCIe goes to 16x
my new (or actually my gf's) geforce 6800 runs on pcie

so upgrade your mobo and cpu first
