Can some one please help me, I don't have the time to research and was wondering if someone would know off hand. I have a Asus-A7v8x-x mother board that i use for my son and the video card is not working well, does any one know which would be the best agp card for this mother board, my power supply is only 300 watts and i would upgrade it if nessecary. I have 1 gig memory running windows xp. thanks for the help

maybe a GeForce 7600..btw, wats ur budget and wat r u going to use the pc for?

[mcmso]

Very good questions , sorry about that. I dont really have a budget becasue i know agp cards aren't that expense anymore. but it will be for gaming only some of the games i play are high end graphics and my sons computer cant handle them, so i would be looking for something good. unless you feel a barebones is a better way to go and i can just swap out the stuff i have there. (barebones with video card).
