These should be sufficient: \nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/Category/category_tlc.asp?CatId=318&

Any of these will make you one super happy man :)\n\nI also believe you have an AGP port instead of PCI-Express\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=1069609639&Submit=ENE&Description=geforce+6600gt&Ntk=all\n\nHere is a link of how it performs in 3dmark.\nIt gets a pretty good score. Although a 6200 is also a great card as you  can see the 6600gt is about 3 times as fast as the 6200.\nhttp://www.tomshardware.com/2005/12/02/vga_charts_viii/page18.html

Your graphics card does support 3D, just not 3D games, or recent titles at least. I had this problem on an older laptop and there isn't much you can do about it except try games with an external configuration program so that you can set all options to low or older titles(Dx7.0 or older). If you really want to play some games you should get a dedicated video card. for around 130$ you can get a buget gaming card. Just make sure you have the right kind for your computer(PCI/AGP/PCIe).

Any card is fine, I suggest either an ATI card, or a Gforce card. You can find cards anywhere now from like $70-$300 that are good. \n\nFirst just check to find out if your computer has AGP, PCI, or PCI-E (PCI Express) ports. To do this look inside your computer. If you see little brown ports that means you have AGP, if you have PCI then you have just plain metal ports, and if you have PCI-E then you have gold ports. PCI-E is the best, followed by AGP, and finally, the oldest type, PCI. \n\nI suggest atleast getting a 256mb card, as that will work for most. If you are into extreme gaming then you might want to head up to the 512mbs. Also, be sure to check if your computer has dual capabilites. Which means you can have two graphic cards at once. \n\nFor more information be sure to check www.wikipedia.com ... Simply search PCI-E ports, AGP ports, or PCI ports, this will help to give you a picture of what your looking for, while looking in your computer. \n\nGood luck! if you need any more help feel free to email me.

From my personal experience I can say that PCI-E is better than AGP. But if you want to learn more about these types of video cards you can look through this article: http://www.directron.com/expressguide.html

ditch the onBoard Video card and get an AGP or PCI-express video card.   Newegg.com will be a good place to look for new video cards.   Otherwise i don't think there is a way to increase the amount of memory used for the onboard card.

I have the nVidia GeForce FX 5200 AGP Card and I run it on AGP 2X and is very good if you have AGP 4X or 8X it would be wicked. Note In June 2006 Nvidia may be releasing a new driver for the card that makes it easier to configure the card. Nvidia cards are better than ATI.

its not about the compatibility ... he might have asked u about the brand or different sizes of vgas like 128MB or 256MB or 512MB. i have INTEL915 motherboard and i tried almost every PCI EXPRESS graphic card n they worked perfect.

You can use any AGP card in your computer as long as you have a AGP slot.  Nvidia is the company that makes the GPU (graphics processing unit).  They sell GPU's to many card manufactures who make AGP and PCI-X video cards.  \nCheck your local computer store or online for a AGP card that fits your needs.

PCI? Are you sure you don't have an AGP slot? If you just have PCI slots then you are pretty much screwed. PCI is two graphics interfaces old. In lieu of that you have two options. Either get the Radeon X1300 which is PCI and should run all those (not to the best that they can be run but run none the less) or buy a whole new computer that supports PCIe graphics card.\n\nYou can pick up an X1300 for about $115 here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814129062&ATT=14-129-062&CMP=OTC-pr1c3grabb3r\n\nA new computer will run you about $1000 - 2000 depending on what parts you want. Stop by www.ibuypower.com if you are in the market for a new computer. For a good gaming computer you will want...\n\nProcessor\nAMD FX or X-2\nIntel Core 2 Duo (as much as I hate to admit it)\n\nRAM\nAt least 1024MB\n\nGraphics\nnVidia 7xxx or better (7800 is a good place to start stay away from the 7950 GX2 though)\nATI x1xxx (x1800 or better)\n\nHard Drive\n7200 RPM SATA or better\n\nBasically everything else is just what you prefer though you might want to get one of those Ageia PhysX physics processors if you have the cash.\n\nTo test your current computer to see if it can run those games of which you speak go to www.srtest.com.

Yes, that's basically correct.  A few years back (probably not applicable in the situation that you're talking about), ATI cards could work with some special drivers on a VIA motherboard.\n\nhttp://www.vr-zone.com/?i=1552\n\nThere's another article that I don't really understand here about another patch that doesn't seem to be working anymore but might have at one point in time.  I don't have the technical knowledge to figure out the true meaning, though: http://www.dailytech.com/article.aspx?newsid=1070\n\nThe 975X supports both, so we'll probably move towards that as time goes on: http://www.theregister.com/2005/09/13/intel_975x_crossfire_sli/

AGP, as in a video graphics card with an AGP interface? I don't know how much you were thinking about spending, what you are upgrading from, what if any features you were looking for, so if you give any more requirements,  I can provice a better recomendation. The first link is a list of AGP graphics cards available on Newegg, and I picked one out of the $100~ range, a Geforece 6600 with 256 Ram.

you will need to open your direct x diagnostics utility...to do this  go to start>run>type  dxdiag....and go to the display tab then were it says enable direct 3d pess that ,underneath it may say agp acceleration ,you need to enable that aswell\n   you must also go to the microsoft website and get the latest direct x 9.0c updates allthough most new games will have them in the game installation\n   the dxdiag utility can also give you info on your diect sound and input devices

When you say "suitable for gaming", what type of games are you looking at playing?  The really high-end first-person titles like Half-Life 2, Fear, Everquest II etc probably have hardware requirements that far exceed what you've got.   \n\nMost of the high-end gaming cards that offer dual outputs are PCI-Express these days (rather than AGP) and generally have dual-DVI.  The most common configuration is still one VGA and one DVI output port, and you can use a $5 adapter.\n\nThere are a number of older AGP cards that have dual VGA outputs like the GeForce 5200 and ATI Radeon 7000 series, but those aren't fast enough for the newest games.   However, they will handle games like StarCraft, the Sims, and watching photos & video clips just fine.  That might be a good choice for what you're doing.

For AGP your best bet is a Radeon 6800 graphics card. Buy a GT if you can afford it. You have choices of 128mb or 256mb. Choose what you can afford but I believe a 128mb GT is better than a standard 256mb.\n\nThere are websites that will do detailed comparisons giving you statistics from playing the latest games on them. Google "graphics comparison statistics" and see what you find.\n\nAs for your other PC I wouldn't bother spending any money upgrading it, if all you do is Internet and photo editing then your current graphics will be fine and who needs great sound on a PC?

This question is outside my area of expertise but here it goes:\n\nExerpt "The video memory of the VGA is mapped to the PC's memory via a window in the range between 0xA0000 and 0xC0000 in the PC's real mode address space. "\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA#Technical_details

Go with ATI. its cheaper and my 512 MB card plays EVERYTHING on full graphics. Whether you have pcix, pci, or agp, there isnt much difference because the true speed is determined by your motherboard. If you have an old motherboard, dont waste your money on an expensive video card.
