ISO DDR/AGP video card

[desiredfaith]

Hi all, I'm in search of cheap decent memory. Motherboard came with PC2100 (not sure if i can use faster or not)

im currently running
DDR1 512 pc2100
Nvidia 5950 (4x speed)

Well i'm trying to find a decent AGP card that will be faster then what i use (god it lags in simple games) and more memory because i run down to 8 MB of memory left when playing simple games like Diablo 2

to be honest im very poor and not trying to spend no more then 50 bucks total if possible. or ill just have to get more memory and stick it out with the video card.

im pushing 450 WATT alianware power supply so i dont have to worry about it draining my PSU

-edit-

also forgot to mention that im running 1.9 ghz P4

That video card is fine for older games.

If you have that little left of memory and it is running slow, I think you need to look at cleaning up the crap installed on the computer instead of getting better hardware to cover it up.

If you want to get anything for that computer, I would just get 1GB of ram:

But even if you get that ram, look to clean up some of the junk off of your computer if it uses that much ram already.

Windows alone uses about 250 MB of ram

i have on average 320 MB of ram to spare, when playing a game such as Diablo II it uses about a good 300+ of the RAM i have left.

trust me i make sure my computer is clean /w clean boot ups and keep the proccess low
