Video card and wireless PCI card questions
I've got a homebuilt Athlon XP 1800+ on an Epox 8KHA+ mobo with 256 megs of
PC 2100 ram. Video card is a PNY GeForce 3 TI 200. The video is fine for what I do now, but I think I can keep this system peppy for a few more years just by upgrading the video. What's a good recommendation that won't break the bank? Wireless PCI card - - I was having trouble with my router (Linksys BEFW11S4) disconnecting me all the time. Cable company rep said to download and install the latest firmware. I did. The router's fine now, but the wireless card won't connect to it now. WTF? TIA, TFM® |

But check this out - http://www.amdmb.com/article-display.php?ArticleID=203 He compares my current card (GeForce 3 TI 200) to the Radeon 9000 Pro 128 meg, and it doesn't appear to be much better if at all. It *is* better at anisotropic filtering, so I've got a bid in on one on Ebay. Currently $43. I'll give it a go and pass the loser down the line. Thanks, TFM® |
