Help, please. LoL. Please. :P
Well, basically, I am upgrading my video card but am going to make sure I am not making a mistake.
I am a poor college student. :P I have this kind of computer. Pentium 4 1.4 GhZ 256 RAM Windows XP Cable Modem 15 Gigabytes left out of 40 :-X 32 MB ATI Video Card I am going to update my video card, and take advantage in the price drop of the Ge Force 3's since the 4's came out. I have a Compaq MV730i monitor, and I want to buy this video card. ---> http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...E=PRICEGRABBER Yep, just checking if I in fact can do this, and if theres not like a limit on what cards you can put in what computers or something. But thanks, reply  -Chris |

Hi MrGreen, welcome to the PC Mech forums!
That card should work fine as long as the system has an AGP slot. |

I would guess that your computer has one, judging by the specs but to check you could pop it open and take a look, the AGP slot would be the black slot above all the grey slots, or you could download PC Mark 2002 from www.madonion.com. It'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know about your PC

... I'll download that and see if I have an AGP slot. |

Welcome aboard!
I'm running a Ti200 and it ROCKS any game I've thrown at it! MOHAA, MAX PAYNE, UT, AvP2, WOLFENSTEIN, DEUS EX, THIEF 1+2, DESCENT3. The Ti500 should be real winner for you - gret price too! Good luck,
