what are diff types of video card memory, and how are they diff..i Know turbo cache takes uer system ram..what about hypermemory?

also turbo cache, does it still take like 192mb for the 6200TC even if im not using the video card at its PEAk. like maybe im surfing the net or something is it still gonna eat up 192mb of my sys ram?

last question..whats the best video card out there up to or less then 100$ (USD)?

thanks

Hypermemory does the same thing...uses System RAM.

They will always take up the same amount of RAM, wheter you are using it or not.

AGP or PCI-E?

The X700 series runs for about $100, you might take a look at those.

I believe the question is, does your motherboard have an AGP or a PCI-E slot? You do not want legacy PCI unless your motherboard only has those, and if that's the case, you have a nongaming machine anyway.

ill take that suggestion and get me a x700..one question tho for gaming, should i look for a card with highest pipeline? is there an order of importance
like CORE clock, MEM (in the card)...etc? maybe some tips on what to look for and what to avoid?

FYI: I am reporting LIVE from my new RIG, my first and new RIG. AFter I get a video card better then this 1mb v-ram (LMAO..best resolution at 648 800) lol it will KICK butt.

here are the specs: AMd Sempron 64 2.1ghz, 512mb corsair, 1 wd maxtor 7200RPM Serial ATA 150, ABit mobo (3 x1 PCIE, 1 x16 PCIE, 3PCI, NO AGP) also XCLIO 450W. SOon to add, an X700, a CD-ROm and possibly another 512MB of ram

thanks PCMECH, i rock lol

P.S.
PCMECH rocks too hehehe

I'm guessing a X700 will be the best PCI-E gamer under $100.
