Recommendations for AGP video card
Simple question, I am looking to replace an older video card with a better
more up to date model. main requirement is AGP compatible, 256mb onboard RAM. I wont be playing games, but will be using the card for video editing and playing video from the hard drive. Can anyone recommend a decent card for around 40 pounds or less that will fit the job? And where is the best place to buy from online in the UK? Thanks a lot. |

Video editing isn't overly demanding on the video card, large amounts of system RAM and processing power are more important. There's a number of cards in the price range you want that would suffice. Avoid 64bit memory ones. There's number of 128bit 6200 AGP series cards with 256Mb of RAM in the price range you want. http://snipurl.com/1bsyd |

Video (and still photography) are not demanding applications. Any card
that is otherwise satisfactory and meets your other requirements will do.

FX 5200 cards would also work. 256mb models of both are available but harder to find in the 5200. Both are also available in fanless versions. Can't help with sourcing in the U.K. |

I have been looking at a XFX GeForce 6200 DDR2, would this do the trick? The card is AGP 8x / 256MB DDR2. Comments anyone? Regards |
