This might be kind of unrelated, but I don't think so. Right now I have an ATI x1900 GT and it's too out of date for me, so I am hoping for an upgrade on Christmas. Can someone recommend a good GPU in the price range of 100$-200$? I have a 500 watt PSU and the case isn't that big, so preferably a card that isn't too huge and one that my PSU can run fine. I also don't really care who the manufacturer is, I just want the most bang for my buck(which isn't too many bucks ATM.)

What is the 4850 these days? It's about that I think.

EDIT: On TigerDirect.com the 4870 is just over $200 after a rebate and this will give you a significant boost in performance.

Oh I didn't even see the 500W part. I'm not savvy on wattage beyond general understanding and I would say that could be cutting it close for the 4870 although I've also heard wattage usage is much lower than what people think. Most bang for your buck right now is the 4850 to my understanding.

*Slaps self* I see there was a thread for this kind of thing, but I'll tell you anyhow. My processor is an AMD Athlon 64 3700+ @ 1.78 Ghz, it's pretty old too. I also have 2 GB of RAM and that's all I know about my RAM for now.

Farmrush, I'll check that card out after I see what Goat has to say. BTW, thanks for any help guys!

Your CPU is probably going to bottleneck whatever you buy.

Try to see if your motherboard supports any of the dual core Atholon 64 X2 processors, the lower speed X2's are only around 40-60$, and would make a much more noticable difference than just getting a better video card alone (48xx series are great btw)

Too bad that motherboard is socket 775... and you're using XP with 6GB (unless you meant x64)...

lol he is lying about his computer to try and impress people on the internet

also that power supply is for blade servers I'm pretty sure you'd need special wiring to pull a couple kilowatts out of a home wall outlet

Compaq 6720. Intel Duo 1600. Not bad thing. The only bad thing is there is no separate video. I have some problem to install XP instead Vista.
