Replacment VID card advice ?

[Foxbat1966]

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 !!

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.

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.

Must be some on EBay

Yeah, that AGP card is long since out of date..

 

But there are options:

Wow, I'm shocked there are that many still available new. From $43 to $120 in options, too.
