Need a basic 75-100.00 pci-e card for use with 2 monitors, LCD/dvi and analog/vga. Any suggestion?

the x1300 is a very good video card that will do what you want and beyond link goes to a place to buy it

The 7900GT is very power hungry though (this doesn't answer your question but, narrow your search on newegg to PCIe graphics cards and sort through chip sets until you back up enough to find a low enough'd price/watt use age...actually, it's better to check the max amp output on the power supply, higher wattage ratings can be deceiving, these are all laypersons opionions by me!)

You need to have a card with two monitor outputs - if you don't have a card that supports two monitors, you are out of luck.  If you do, then just plug the second monitor in.  Some cards, like mine, support two monitors, but they only have one VGA port and one DVI port.  In that case, you need either a monitor with the sae connector (typically an LCD will come with both DVI and VGA ports and cables) or an inexpensive adapter to connect a second VGA type monitor to the DVI connector on your card.  Most cards that support two monitors include the DVI-to-VGA adapter, although you can also buy them at computer stores.\n\nIf this is a stock G4 AGP, I don't think it supports two monitors, sorry to say.  You could upgrade to a better graphics card, of course, but that costs.\n\nGood luck!

I'm not sure how much detail you want, so I'll keep it somewhere in the middle.\n\nBoth are bus architectures designed for moving data being peripherals and the motherboard, in this case they are both overwhelmingly used for graphics cards.  Both have roughly the same base speed.  AGP 1X and PCI-E x1 both support 256MB/sec, however AGP maxes out at AGP 8X for about 2GB/sec.  PCI-E currently goes up to x16 for a single slot, which is about 4GB/sec.\n\nSo far, they sound very similar, except PCI-E supports a bi-directional flow of data and a higher max speed (twice as fast).  In theory, there's no reason AGP 16X couldn't be made, but the bi-directional nature of PCI-E precludes any justification for making it.  What this means is that if you have an identical video card running at 8X AGP or PCI-E X8, you'd get fairly similar performance because you'd be bottnecked by the bus.  If the GPU is designed for PCI-E and you have an AGP variant, you should lose a little performance to the AGP bridge.  The bi-directional nature of PCI-E is also what makes ATI's crossfire technology feasible; Nvidia's SLI can operate without the SLI bridge as well, but you'll have reduced performance when going through the PCI-E.\n\nBecause the AGP standard is essentially obsolete for all entertainment purposes, there's no reason to build a new computer around one.  Although, if you're looking to add a video card into a current system, you'll probably need to go with an AGP card.  If that's the case, probably the best AGP card you can buy is the 7800GS from BFG.  It will cost $350 at a Best Buy or about $320 online (I've included links below to it at NewEgg and TigerDirect).  Considering the high price of the card and how poorly it performs compared to its PCI-E counterparts, which are running in PCI-E x16, you should probably just hold out for an entirely new system.\n\nIf you have any other questions, just send me a mail to my Yahoo! account and I'll try to answer them or point you in the right direction.

if you're certain you'll always have a separate card, then absolutely get the one without an integrated vpu/gpu. i'm sure you're well aware of windows' wacky handling of hardware... it's not worth all the possible headaches of hardware conflicts and so on.

It's a new standard coming out right now for computers. There's PCI-E x1 and x16. Both slots differ in size with the x16 one being longer. The latter is quickly replacing AGP8x as the slot of chouce for newer videocards thanks to the really fast transfer rate

Your Chip set is NVidia nForce 410 and  Video Output Interface PCI Express, it depends on who much you want to spend on a Graphics Card, i would suggest GeForce 7 series

There is a flavor of the ATI Radeon 9250 is a reasonably priced PCI (not express) card which has a TV-out capability.  I've included a link to the card on pricegrabber below.

thethief is kind of right, but youll get sucky performance. Buy a modern agp or pci-express video card and it should have a dvi and vga input, with a dvi > vga adapter allowing more than one monitor plugged into the video card.

Yes, depending on the nature of the games you will want to get a card appropriate for them.  You can spend anywhere between $69 and $300 for a video card/tv tuner card.  So, there are five choices, not extensive I know but the best I could do.  The first one is a 64MB Geforce4 MX440 with TV tuner for $69.  Definitely not something you want if you want to play modern games.  The next one is a ATi All-in-Wonder 9600XT with either 128MB of memory for $166 or a 256MB version for $177 (between those two I would spend the extra $11 for double the memory).  Then you have your choic of a AGP or PCIe 256MB Radeon X800XT card for $259 and $269 respectively.\n\nWhat is it exactly that you want to do?\n\nSee them all here, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?submit=PROPERTY&SubCategory=48&propertycodevalue=695:9635&bop=and&order=priced

check here... http://www.techspot.com/vb/topic23655.html\n\nYou should be very careful not to burn your card out.  COuld be a very costly experiment if you're not careful and know what you're oding.

For quality splitters try the following but pricey.\nhttp://www.networktechinc.com/vsplt-dvi.html\n\nOr the alternative which works just fine for me\nhttp://www.welovemacs.com/mcmsv103prbk.html

For what you are spending, you processor wont bottleneck the video card.  I would suggest that you spend that $150 on one good card rather than two very mediocre cards.  Try to go with the Nvidia 7800 series and above or the ATI 1800 series and above.  Those cards will outperform the two 7300's in SLI.

Take the side cover off and look.\nDo you have a Video expansion slot?\nIf so, it is AGP or PCI-e?\nA lot of the cheaper boards do not have a video slot.\nIf you have a regular PCI slot open, you would need to buy a card that fits the slot.

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.

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.

NewEgg list two PCI FX5500s, at $54 and $78.\nI recommend that you opt for the 128-bit $78 3DFuzion model - although it is currently out of stock...\n\nA motherboard from before AGP times!  The processor might not be upto playing COD - you should give serious thought to a total upgrade.  For $112 you could source a Foxconn SoA motherboard, Sempron 2400+ CPU and 256Mb DDR400 RAM.\nThen $78 could buy you a 9600XT - but if you had the money - there would be much more choice!\n\n(AGP) comparisons of older cards:\nhttp://www.tomshardware.co.uk/2003/12/29/vga_charts_iii/page16.html
