PCI Video Card? Whoa

If you are going to change towers, make sure your motherboard has an AGP Slot and get an AGP card that is 100 % DX3 compatible if you are planning on future gaming. Also insure the motherboard is AGP 8x specifications. Anything in an AGP Card 128MB and above should server you well.

ATI has a trade-up policy and you get $50.00 on most cards you send in. I sent in a 4MB Diamond Stealth for my trade in cuz I found it in my JUNK drawer. I have the ATI 9800 Pro 256MB and it rocks.

PS: Newer ATI Radeon Cards need a full size power plug for the fans so make sure you aren't overloading your PS when you upgrade.
