[wookieboy03]

Hi, i'm looking for a new AGP Video card for my computer, here are my specs:

dfi wt70-ec motherboard w/ 423 socket and i850 chipset
1.5 ghz p4
1 gb p800 rdram
7200 maxtor 40gb hd
7200 seagate 20gb hd
32x12x48 buslink cdrw
16x pioneer dvd
soundblaster 5.1 live!

whats a good card for $150 or less with this current config? thanks

HERE is a Sapphire Radeon 9600 pro, for under $150.

EDIT: However, if you want to spend a few bucks more, and I would highly reccomend it, get THIS MSI card isntead, it pretty much smashes the 9600 pro, and has a good software bundle, ever played morrowind? it comes with it.

ATI 9600Pro or Nvidia 5700Ultra

The 5700u costs as much at the 5900XT, and the 5900XT outperforms it by about 30-40% in most cases. Go with the 5900XT if you're spending over $150. If not, yea, the Radeon 9600 pro looks pretty good

Yes 3 great cards in there respected price points! it all comes down to what your willing to spend
You could also put in a Geforce4 Ti4200 in that list

Ti4200->9600XT->5900XT->9800Pro
$90 -> $150 -> $180 -> $210

I'd try to get a 9600 pro for around $130 or less I think. Much faster of a card would probably just be a waste due to your slow cpu.
