I am looking for a sub $150 PCI video card
From doing some research I have found some 9250's 9200's FX5500's, 5200's, and one 5700LE
I have no idea how these cards would stack up against each other
What I idealy want is a PCI 9600 Pro/SE 128 but I have had no luck finding one
I am upgrading from a rage pro 16mb card.
I want something that can run doom3 at 640x480 @medium/high or maybe even 800x600. Be able to run CS at 800x600 and Halo at 1024x768
The other thing I play is C&C generals and it would be good if it could keep up with it at 1024x768 with low/mid detail
If your wondering what sort of machine i have and why I havent upgraded to something with an AGP slot already...
This is going to go into the DOCK for my IBM A22p laptop
The dock has a PCI slot and when testing it with the PCI 9000SE card I have, it works really well playing CS 1.3
the Lappy has a p3 1.2ghz, 512mb ram, 80gb 5.4k hd so the only short bit on it is the internal video card
