I know this is not where this topic goes, its the best one I can find. I need
some help finding a video card my computer Im buying online. Its a emachine
W3052 AMD sempron 3000+ /512MB DRR/ 120GB HDD, It has intergated NVIDA
GeForce 4 MX. I would like to install a Sapphire Radeon 9250/ 128MB/ 64 Bit/
AGP 8X card in it. If I cannot install that one, I was thinking a PNY GeForce
5200/ 128MB/ AGP 8X video card. I would to play games and to have a 32bit
color on the computer. I don't think this matters or not, but Im buying these
from Tigerdirect.com. Any help is welcomed and thank you for your time. Jon

Jon, either card should work in your system. Though my thoughts are that
they are not much of a step up from what you have. Take a look at Newegg.
Sapphire ATI 9600XT for $88.
