This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive. ~

Subject:Graphics card question
I'm looking to replace my current graphics card....it came with the comp has 96mb or something silly like that. I'd like to see what you guys recommend as far a replacement. I'd like to not spend a fortune considering my computer is 7yrs old though.

You should check what kind of graphics slot your motherboard has. Given its age it's most likely AGP, which would mean your options are pretty limited. Here's Newegg's list of AGP graphics cards. Assuming you plan to use Decal, you should get a card with at least 256MB of RAM.
The Radeon HD 4650 1GB is another option at $70. Contrary to the higher product number, it's not as fast as the 3850, but the difference may not be noticeable playing AC on an old computer.
The Radeon HD 3650 512MB looks decent for ~$60, and is probably good enough for AC.
If you go much lower than $60, then you start to get into cards that aren't made for games, and aren't much better than integrated graphics.
