Gentlemen (and Ladies, if any are present),
In light of the previous discussion, I come into your presence seeking
guidance.
I'm running an 1800+ Athlon with 512 Megs of RAM over a DSL
connection. My motherboard is limited to 4x AGP, and I am not
interested in changing it at this time due to economic constraints
(i.e. business ain't so good, income is down from the last few years).
I intend to wait for 6 months or so after the new replacement for the
8x AGP is out to get a new board, processor, RAM. ect.
My video card is a NVIDIA RIVA TNT2 Model 64 Pro that come with my
motherboard as part of a barebones kit.
Would you suggest that I change the video card?
I know the 4x cards are reaching the end of their life-cycle, and I
thought I might pick up one cheap. I've tried to do some reasearch,
but I have begun to doubt the reviews I read on retailers sites.
I had thought about buying this card from TigerDirect

but was not sure that I woud see any real performance increase.
Any thoughts.
