For 67$ you can buy a GeforceFX 5200.

ok i thought it had to be a geforce 2 sence it was on the mother board chip thanks

[JPMiller]

No ...the N-Force boards use an integrated video processor equal to a G-force 4 MX video card...but you can use any video card in the AGP slot once youve disabled the onboard video in the bios.

[The_Saint]

Actually that version of the mobo does not have a Integrated Video Card. So you have to pick one out

I'd suggest at simple, not too expensive video card, like a Geforce 4 MX 400. But it really depends what you want to do with the computer. If you are heavily into games or high-end graphics, then you'll need a better video card than that.

But for basic game play, web surfing and general mucking about , I find a GF4 MX 400 suits me fine.

ok can you give me the direct link so i dont get the wrong one thanks

This is abit confusing with two threads on the smae thing, daniel.

Try to stick to one thread on the same topic, OK?

If you want a GF4 MX 400, try newegg's list of cards and see which one you like. .

Use the link that bshplt posted and get one of the GeForce4 FX 5200 cards. They are basically updated versions of the GeForce MX line of cards, but using the new GeForce FX series chips.
