In our family PC I don't have any PCIe slots just two PCI and one AGP. Would anyone suggest the best graphics card I can get for gaming? Thanks.
 
Depends on your system. The best cards are the AGP Radeon 3850 and 4650 (if you can get them to work) but if you have a weak system then it's kinda overkill. Also, if you have an inadequate PSU and try to put in the 3850 you could blow the whole thing.

Hi, so if my motherboards max. RAM is 2gb DDR and the 3650 is 512mb DDR2 does that mean I can still have the max. 2gb + the 512mb for the card?

Thanks for all the answers. I know this isn't the right place to ask but would anyone suggest some good DDR400 RAM? (2x1gb)

I got the Geforce 6200 with a AMD(tm) 64 Processor 3200+, 2GB of Ddram 2, on a K8m800 Micro AM2 main board an it sucks, everytime i play a game it freezes or restarts, i've tried everything from new to old drivers, even changed my chipset drivers nuttin fixes it, anyone have any clues please?
 

Welcome to the forums! First pointer is take a look at the dates on a post before replying . Second is 6200 has never been considered a gaming card.
