Title: New video card
Post by: SpyHawk on July 20, 2000, 10:33:00 AM

Hey guys. I'm looking to spend up to $260 (maybe little over, not solid yet) on a new video card.

I know this wont even be close to state of the art, but would you all be able to reccomend some solutions to me? Thanks!

Hi Spyhawk

Your system specs would help in deciding what would be best for you.

Well, AMD K-6(2)500
Micronics C200 MB
128 SDRAM
10GB HDD space
Currently a Viper V550 TNT 16mb PCI card

I just bought a TNT2 Ultra AGP with all the fixins' for $160. I think I got a good deal.

I bought a Guillmot Xentor 32 TNT ultra for 120.00 with a 30.00 rebate, not state of the art but 1 step below a Gforce.
