is this a good card?


I'm upgrading my video card b/c i only have a 64 MB one at the moment. I dont have agp connectors on my motherboard so i have to settle for PCI or PCI express cards. My budget is around $200.

I was wondering if this is a good card or if someone can recommend another good one for around the same price.

No way! That site is way overpriced, i would buy it here, its almost half the price! http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...071564&CatId=0



But if you want a PCI-E video card, go with something like this for $112: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applicatio...648021&CatId=0



The PCI-E video card is a much better buy, and a much better card.

I didn't check the links, but just so you know, PCI and PCIe are COMPLETELY different interfaces. Just because you don't have AGP DOES NOT mean you have PCIe... So yeah, you might want to check the specs on that mobo before you go and purchase a PCIe card and can't use it...or PCI and find out you actually DO have PCIe ^^;

is the $200 USD or canadian dollar? if it's USD, then you can get a decent card, maybe a 6800GS. If it's in Canadian Dollars, which is I believe around 170USD? used google, then you can get a 6600gt, or x800gto, and some other 6 series cards from nvidia and 800's cards from ati.
