Hello, I'm trying to figure out what video card to get for my computer. There are soo many out there, I just don't know which one would be right for my setup. I don't do much gamming, but I do have some Tom Clancy Rainbow Six games, which Ghost Recon won't even play with my setup. I also like to watch movies, download music videos and stuff like that. The video sometimes gets choppy and even doing normal stuff on the internet seems choppy sometimes. I'm looking at spending $50-120, closer to $50 would be better though. My setup is this. Windows XP Home, 350w power supply, L4VX2 ECS mother board, Intell Pentium 4 2.7ghz @ 3.023 ghz, 512 DDR Ram, and an old slow NVidia Ge Force MX420 64mb video card. Not looking for something really really awsome as I don't do much gamming but I would like something that I'm not going to have to worry about having any video problems. My card now is PCI and I'm guessing AGP would be better right? Do I need 256 ram or is 128 enough? I hear that the 9600pro or 9800pro is decent. Any other cheaper cards that would be just as good or enough for what I need? Thanks
