Video Cards

We are upgrading a computer and need a suggestion for a video card. One that allows good games play. Thanks

A' bit more info on the hardware currently installed on the puter would help.

ATI cards are a pretty fair choice. There were driver install probs with them in the past,but if you get the latest driver upgrades from ATI, there should'nt be probs. Some to look at:

I'd suggest a DDR card myself...

I second that. ATI chipsets are - IMO - best price:value choice for gaming.
Doing quite a bit of RTS gaming myself - love the ATI Radeon 7500 or 8500 boards. :)

Thanks guys. Just trying to figure out which is the best one. Do you have an opinion on the GEForce?

I just installed a Nvidia GeForce4 Ti 4600 on my windows ME system. I am absolutely extatic about this card, it performs as well or better than they promised.

A lot of people seem to be having problems installing this card under windows ME. Including the people at PC Magazine. But having used GEforce video cards before, I trusted their promise that it would work in ME.

Some people that posted even stated that they changed their OS's just to be able to install the card.

Fact is: You have to follow their installation instructions to the letter, it is just not a next next next type of installation and requires two or three reboots.

hello,

I recomend a Ati Radeon 9000 for just home gaming and a Ati Radeon 9700 for all out gaming! Ati 9000 pro 128 meg ddr at newegg is $139.00 and a Ati radeon 9700 pro 128 meg 8X Agp at newegg is $344.00. Note I don't Believe the 9700 comes with drivers for Win 98 SE.

Thanks! Some good information. Just wanted to get some ideas before we purchase.
