Foxbat1966 Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 I am running an HP Pentium 4 2.4GHz XP home SP2 with an Nvidia GeForce Ti 4200 AGP 8X 128 mb vid card. The card is sick and may die very soon. Any advice on a NEW replacment for the card will be grate. Please don't suggest computer replacment thats out of the question for now. THANKS !! Quote
+suhsjake Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 At this point in the game, it is cheaper in the long run to build/buy 500 computer than it is to keep upgrading the current one you have. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-pc-overclocking-pc-building,3273.html Quote
+JediMaster Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 A ti4200!?!?!? No joke I had the 4400 TEN years ago. AGP is dead. I don't know that you CAN find a new AGP card anywhere. You might be able to buy a used one on ebay if you're lucky. PCI Express replaced it years ago now. Quote
+FastCargo Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Yeah, that AGP card is long since out of date.. But there are options: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007709%20600007850&IsNodeId=1&name=AGP%204X%2f8X FC Quote
+JediMaster Posted November 2, 2012 Posted November 2, 2012 Wow, I'm shocked there are that many still available new. From $43 to $120 in options, too. Quote
