I am having trouble finding a video card for my Pentium 4. I am not to handy with computers but i know enough to understand that my video card .. well sucks lol.

My current Video card is a ATI Radeon 9550 128MB. My processor is a Foxconn 661FX7MF-RS. This current video card is a 8x slot (AGP) . Oh and my power supply is 520W im fairly sure.

Money is sort of an issue (i want to stick to around $150 and down).

ANYTHING is better then my **** card lol please give me some ideas and help me pick the best card for my pc!

Thanks, Adam

Radeon HD 3850 is the best AGP card you can pick up and you should be able to find it for less than $150.

Here you go

Powercolor Radeon 3850 124.99 + 8.25 shipping
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814131090

Its plenty powerful for your system. I'd say don't get anything faster than a 1950 Pro, but this card is actually cheaper than the 1950 Pro AGP so go for it. If you wanted to spend a little less though then you shouldn't loose too much by going with this card

Radeon 2600XT 86.99 + 6.99 shipping
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814161208

Any radeon 3650 or 2600XT should be fine for your system. If you're willing to spend the money though then you may as well go for the 3850
