    Well, I'm planning on buying a new GFX card for xmas.
    But I wanted to ask... how do I know which GFX cards are compatible with my computer? There are a bunch of PCEI, AGP, whatever types and I don't know which one fits my computer :x

    Anyways, if someone can help me with finding out if a GFX card is compatible with my computer and if you know any well priced, good performance video cards please post link to them here :P So far I've looked at...

    Alright, can you answer my other question?
    And I thought that one was better as well (And better priced when it was still on the site). But there are a few of those 6800 GS on ebay so I might get it :eek:

    thanks for the creds, Rave-!

    I can't find any on TD, but i dont know any other canadian sites... just pick some other agp cards that are highly priced by going to: (on the left)

    Video cards->agp

    then there are some.
