I know I can count on you AT'ers to help me out on this. I am trying to find the best video upgrade solution for my friend's HP computer. Problem is, it only has PCI slots, so AGP video is out. Can anyone either recommend a good website that compares PCI vid cards, or recommend a great PCI vid card to buy? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
Is the 9100 Pro better than the 9200SE? Also, is it a safe assumption that Ati's PCI offerings are superior to Nvidia's? Also, I don't want to go lower than GeForceFX/9000-series ATi unless a card truly is faster.

9100 should be faster than 9200SE. iirc, 9100 is just an 8500 with a different model number, the 9200SE is an AGP8X version of the 9000, ~8500 speeds, but ati SE models are Slow Edition
 
i like my 9200 , but yes the 9100 pro pci 128 meg version is GREAT

but for the price i hopped all over the 9200 (40 bux)

good luck-
 
Thanks stncttr908! That roundup was exactly what I was looking for! It looks like the 9100 is my best bet, as the $138 price of the 5600 isn't worth any performance increase.
