Can you help me choose a video card for an antique computer?
Here’s my problem… My computer just died and I can’t afford to replace it right now, so I’m having to dust off an antique (I believe it’s the same one that Noah used to keep track of all the animals) and use it. The ONLY good thing about this is that I can “upgrade” it cheaply, assuming I can find parts that old… Here’s what I have:
Motherboard:
Board: First International Computer, Inc. P4M-800T PCB 1.x
Bus Clock: 100 megahertz
BIOS: Phoenix Technologies, LTD 6.00 PG 10/15/2004
CPU:
2.60 gigahertz Intel Celeron
8 kilobyte primary memory cache
128 kilobyte secondary memory cache
Current Video Card:
NVIDIA GeForce4 MX 440 with AGP8X (Microsoft Corporation) [Display adapter]
I’m about to upgrade to 1 GB RAM and the video card (assuming I can find a suitable one) and I have NO clue what I should get for this dinosaur…
Can you help me?
You will need to look for an AGP 8X video card, there are not a lot of them remaining on the market, so used may be an option. However you can still get cards from ATI and nVidia for between $40 and $200
Go to one of the online sellers and search for AGP 8X and that will give you a range of models you can look up. Most of these, even the $50 ones, will outperform your MX440
