hey all, new member in need of some advice. im having crashing problems with my computer and after RMAing my RAM i know that that isnt the problem. now im thinking that the problem may be my XFX 4870 so im going to RMA it. im using an ASUS M4A79T deluxe motherboard so i dont have any onboard video.
does anybody have any insight into a really good and really cheap video card that i can use so im not without a computer for the week or so that it takes to RMA my real video card?
im looking at >>>THIS<<< newegg page and wondering what would be good for a temp/backup video card.
thanks for any help!
