P4 2.6
1g ram 400
2 HDD

If the X1950pro is out of your price line,you might want to look at the 7600GS for agp.This card offers exceptional performance and is quite a bit cheaper than X1950pro.Also the X1950XT is a PCI-xpress card,not AGP like your system has.So this card would never work.If you buy a X1950XT,you'll need to buy a new motherboard/processor/memory/and possibly a power supply.Essentially you'd have to build a new system.Goodluck.

thanks for the reply body but the x1950xt for another system which has x800gto pci-e i wanna upgrade but i want to know the power requirement

 

[merwan]

psu requirment for X1950XT 256MB PCIE is;

''450-Watt power supply or greater, 30 Amps on 12 volt rail recommended (assumes fully loaded system)''

Diamond Viper - ATI Radeon™ X1950XT 256MB PCIE with Dual DVI

the link above tell you the system requirments. hope this helps.

Your reply is entirely correct. However, there is an AGP version of the X1950XT which i think is from Gecube.

Just wanted to clear that point.

To the OP, Consider the 7600GT AGP, it should be a lot faster than the 7600GS and not much more expensive.

you can get 1950xts in agp flavour, however it would be a waste, lol, also, i strongly recommend the 7600Gt over the Gs... trust me...

 

[df_fer]

i just wanna say thank you guys for the replies it really helped me and i will consider 7600gt seriously


edit :can anyone recommend a PSU for 1950xt pci-e and PSU for 7600gt AGP ?

$150 for a x1950GT agp Sapphire. Pretty stellar deal, has a $30 rebate with it as well.

yah you're right x1950gt is better than 7600gt in tomshardware VGa chart and 150$ is realy a nice price thank you

Well you are allready bottlenecking the card so i don't really see the point of getting a stronger card then the 7600gt.

I agree, a 2.6 won't be able to handle the 1950 very well. It also has alot higher power consumption than the 7600gt. If your rig is a stock store setup I would guess that your power supply is pretty low. I would go with the 7600gt or just invest in a new rig all together. Your just decorating a dying horse.

Well i had this problem a while ago.
You could try getting the palit 7600gs and oc it to 7600gt speed that's what ive done core 550 and memory 1350mhz, i know it's not exactly 7600gt speed but it runs cool and stable.
And be shure to buy the palit 7600gs ddr3 version.
