My GeForce 7600gt decided last night that it was tired and just quit on me.
So now I'm sitting here without a clue as to what to replace it with :pt1cable:

Obviously if I'm asking about AGP cards it means I'm running an out of date system, that being said let me also state that I am currently unemployed and can not afford to update my computer at this time.

The main thing I am interested in using the system for is playing World of Warcraft and streaming movies so I dont need a high end system just a solid video card that works lol

My other system info is as follows:
Intel P4 2.8 processor
Asus P4S800D-X Motherboard
RaidMax 420w power supply
2 GB ram

Any input as to an appropriate video card selection for my system would be appreciated.

So far Ive been told;
Get another 7600gt,
Get a radeon x1950 pro
and "a Radeon HD 4650 is the best you can buy"

Since my computer knowledge is only slightly above that of your average 80 year old grandmother I find myself more confused with each new forum search that I preform.

Please advise .... :wahoo:
 
Seriously, just pick up whatever you can find for $40 on ebay and call it a day. Maybe the HD 3650; even that would be fine. I really think even the 4650 would be overkill for a machine like that. I should know -- I've got an old P4 with a 4650 in it, and it's definitely not the card that's the bottleneck.
