Need a low end graphics card

[Description]

I just a got an old machine. PIII/700, 128MB RAM, Win ME, no AGP

I'm no expert on Windows-type boxes.
I want to play a few games, don't want to spend much more than $35 shipped for a video board. What would supplement the processor well?

 

[Cawchy87]

yikes, what games are you planning to play? your options are limited due to the lack of an agp slot.

I'd hunt around the FS/T forums and eBay for a PCI geForce4 MX.

- M4H

I second a pci gf4 mx440

Where could I get one for a good price?

for such a cheap card and low end system, youd do better getting something used like M4H first reccomended. not worth paying retail for anything in that rig

How is that different from the MX440-SE?

 

[SneakyStuff]

the SE is slower and has a smaller transfer bandwidth.

 

[Falloutboy]

SE = Suck Edition avoid if you want any 3d performance.

for your setup I would recomend getting a used GF4MX 440, or a GF3. I've seen GF3 go for unfer 40 and should be a decent card

The 440MX is DX7 only.

well for a $35 budget, a dx9 card is out of the question 😉
