I have a system that will only let me add a pci card. What's the
fastest Ati PCI graphics card I can get for my system ? Thanks.

Try looking for a Radeon 9100 64Mb or 128Mb PCI card. They're a decent
DX8.1 card....same R200 GPU as the 8500 series ( 2 textures processed per
cycle compared to 1 per cycle in the 9000/9200 series R250) They can stll
be found new some places for $59 as well as Ebay (where they go for a lot
more)

Forgot to point out that the 9100 PCI is a fair bit faster the 9200
PCI....20-25% or so.
 
i was in the south carolina (North Charleston) Circuit City last week and found several
VisionTek Xtasy 9600 (Ati chip 256 meg) for sale at $129.00
http://www.talkroot.com/archive/topic/4522-1.html

with all the tricks (in the video drivers) pulled with the PCI video cards these days an
agp 4x mainboard only runs the agp version about 15% faster.

I vote for you to purchase one of these bad boys. I purchased two. I put one is a Dell
450mhz PCI (sorry it is so old) however; the user runs URU fantastically, with no crashes
(as usual with ATI), how some ever - obviously slow. geesh - that is $129.00 for a ATI
256 megger !
I personally have a 9800pro (two each PC's) on agp 4x mainboards. Far Cry looks
phemonimal !! like you are right there at the Beach, in the real surf! ahh... that 2.0
pixel shader !!

That's a 9200SE PCI you've got posted below. Are you positive the one you looked at was a 9600? AFAIK there's no such thing.
 
I heard about a 9600 pci too, but never found a link or such. Guess that's another myth.

BTW: How on earth did you posted this message with blue background??

9200 is about it.... I think the Nvidia 5200 PCI is faster thou, for
the same price.

None of them are good enough for modern games.

By using HTML.

You just did the same, which is why your post is 3 times the size it should
be, and looks awful in outlook express.

Oof, unwarrented political propoganda from a likely canadian or
european. I wasn't prepared for that. Though I have heard that the
9200/9100 IS slower then the FX5200. I bemoan the lack of an AGP slot.
It comes down to a FX5200 256mb or a Radeon 9100 128mb. Thanks to
everyone on this board though. you've helped me narrow it down to two.
Now which one is better ? :)

Coming from someone who probably didn't agree with removing saddam
hussain from power in the first place... "We can't let America Remove
saddam !! Saddam hasn't done anything wrong to his people and he's not
a threat!!"

Lordy, lordy, I can't even come to a videocard newsgroup forum without
someone shoving political propoganda down my throat via signatures at
the end of their active posts. If I wanted that, I'd visit a Political
newsgroup, not a videocard forum.

So YOU decide that sigs are out of bounds? I also say you are a Troll. If
you have nothing to contribute to a poster then mind your own business and
leave good people alone. We don't want children like you around.

No, AntiSam. Seems more likely to me that seeing as i'm the
"stranger", I'm not allowed to have an opinion. Let alone one that you
don't like. Amazing how the internet Empowers small people like you
who otherwise have no power. Rule over your little kingdom, AntiSam.
All I ever wanted was to find out the right PCI card to buy. I guess
it's MY BAD if I don't like recieving a political propoganda message
integrated into an otherwise genuine bit of advice.

And once again, thanks to ALL of you who are genuinely here to give
computer advice, minus the political advice. I'll be enjoying my
radeon 9100 PCI as much as I possibly can, given it's limited
capabilities. Crappy mobo's DO hold you back. Though I have found a
rather fondness for upgrading older pc's. It's almost as fun as
constructing a brand new home built pc.

Let's see. Darthy add the sig which you Can't tell me isn't designed
as a FLAME-BAIT. It's purpose is to cause a reaction. That's troll
behavior to me.
I reacted in an OK manner. Then Soldier, spying an opening, baited me
with an insult hoping for a reaction. Once again, trollish behavior. I
reacted badly in the first paragraph, but tried to recoup in the
second paragraph. You, now, disagreeing with my opinion, but agreeing
POlitically with the other two, see me as the only troll here. This
doesn't suprise me. You may or may not be a troll, but darthy and
soldier seemed to be from my pov. I hope you can begin to see things
from my pov a little better now. I came here only wanting computer
advise, not expecting to be BAITED into a trap. Oh well, my mistake.
I'll be more aware next time.

I see no more reason for this thread to continue any longer, quite
frankly. Sorry to all of you who don't engage in this activity to have
to had witness this.
