I put one of these in an older socket A system Athlon XP 2400+ with only 768mb RAM and it was very impressive what that system could do. It probably means skipping a lot more lunches than you want to go without. Still this thing is a great card. AGP 3850

Heres an AGP card with dual DVI, that is similar to what your already running. XFX GeForce 6800 Xtreme / 256MB GDDR3 / AGP 8x / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Don't if that is too expensive, as PCI cards seem to be pretty pricey as well.

Thanks for the comparison sheet on the ATI cards, ADDAvenger. That helps a lot. I'll probably steer towards a mid nvidia card such as the 7600 series.

I edited to reflect total price after rebates. Thanks for the tips. Also I bought this for my son for christmas for his rig, and he is very happy.

Great deal on 7600gs XFX 7600GS:D EDIT: Thanks for the pointers.

Here's the link to the deal, and sometimes these deals are only for a short while! XFX GeForce 7600 GS / 256MB GDDR2 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card

EDIT:I stand corrected.

Yeah, I didn't think of it as overkill, certainly could get into a card that would support his needs for 30 or 40 less. Thanks to point that out Zebo.

Thanks for the thoughts StopSign

Heres this at Costco if you have a membership or know someone with a membership. TV Oops just realized you said max of 42" EDIT See this one SCEPTRE Black 42" 16:9 8ms LCD TV with HDMI Input Model X42GV-Naga It has free Shipping and a 100 Rebate so total is 1299. Unless you...

I saw a nvidia 7600GS by XFX on tigerdirect after rebate for 59.99 not including shipping. I don't know what your price point is but also on newegg here is an ATI x1600 pro or PNY 7600GS Good Luck happy shopping.

Didn't want to take up more space so I edited the original post to get some thoughts about the performance of this mid ATI card?

IN the 200 dollar range you can move into a decent card with a 256bit memory bus, doubling the bandwidth of the 7600GT for example Foxconn FV-N79GM2D2-HP GeForce 7950GT 256MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16 HDCP Video Card. This has a rebate which is love hate relationship, but gets you in a...

On tigerdirect you can find these cards EVGA GeForce 7600 GT / 256MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card XFX GeForce 7600 GT XXX Edition / 256MB GDDR3 / SLI / PCI Express / Dual DVI / HDTV / Video Card

The availability of the 7800 chipsets are limited in PCI-e. On newegg they have some Recertified Video Cards The price is right but they come with limited warranty and seems that EVGA is very loose on the term "recertified" reading some of the commentsmade in the reviews....
