Cheap Graphics Card - Upgrade

brandon10092
If you want to go pretty cheap, but you are still looking for a decent upgrade from your stock on-board graphics card, you could buy a GeForce Graphics Card. I bought one (can't remember the model number and everything) and it was $50, and it came with 128MB memory, even though most of the newer more advanced graphics cards come with 256MB of memory.

If you can pick up a GeForce 7600 GT or GS then that'll be the best bang for the buck. That card has 12 pipelines and is based on a fairly new architecture so you're gonna get all the shader support. My cousin has this card and it's way better than the ATI cards at the $100-$150 range.

    The Almighty 8800GTX or the Uber Overkill 8800Ultra? (5)
    Just out of curiosity I want to here your opinion, if you were making a computer and there was a
    choice of a 8800GTX and a 8800Ultra which one would you take. The logical answer would be the
    8800ULTRA since it has higher clock speeds, better looking etc but I've heard some people say
    that the 8800Ultra overheats your computer, too big, and uses too much power. Others say that the
    8800GTS is much more worth the money, what do you prefer?....

  11. Graphics Card
    (4)
    The first graphic card, introduced in August of 1981 by IBM, was Monochrome Display Adapter (MDA).
    The monitors that used these cards were typically text-only with green, amber or white text on a
    black background. Color for IBM-compatible computers appeared on the scene with the 4-color
    Hercules Graphics Card (HGC), followed by the 8-color Color Graphics Card (CGA) and 16-color
    Enhanced Graphics Adapter (EGA). When IBM introduced the Video Graphics Array (VGA) in 1987, a new
    graphics standard came into being. A VGA display could support up to 256 colors (out of a possi....

  14. Macbook Graphics Down Grade

    some news for the mac fans There is a rumor going around on the web that the new macbook has a
    graphics down grade from its old g4 brother. some of you might be thinking i am just talking crap,
    but it looks like that the new macbook has its graphics capabilities somewhat intergrated with the
    intel chip. this puts more processing calls on the processor and less on the graphics card causing a
    lower graphics speed and performance. the old g4 did not do this, it only had the graphics card do
    it seperatly. the thing with the macbook is that it is a daul core so this could hel....

    Sorry if this has already been asked but I couldn't find anything on it. I basically have a

    (2x512) ram, and a 6800 Non-ultra. The thing is though, the AMD X2s are really looking attractive
    now, probably getting the 3800+ X2 because it seems to be the most affordable right now. FRom what I
