my comp cant handle the new video cards, so if I need any shader crap other than what a generic ati 256mb 9250 can handle I am SOL... I got a floor fan blowing on my comp to keep it from shutting off and my sound card is almost dead (I need to use line out to hear)..

I bought a powerball ticket though... 

Seriously in 2 years things should get back to normal, I hope...
 (wont have a car payment then and not renewing my health insurance for a year or two).

Whatcha got, 8X AGP port?  4X?  2?  Pp -PCI??

Hehe a HP 1.8gh p4
a generic 9250ish ATI 256mb (up from my all in wonder 32mb I see no diff and old card had more capabilites but I lost software, the dl's on ati site all suck and none work 100% for my video makign needs)

256+128 2100ddr ram

Blizzard (walmart) floor fan... 

I used to run SCP on my p2 400mh, 756 SD pc100, 4mbvodoo rage
(remember my BOE pics)

What's the model number?  Then I can find out the AGP port type, if it has any.

HP pavillion 750c

AFAIK it's x4 AGP

Hmm, you were right... this says it's 4X AGP... :/  yuck.

But, you may want to try:

It depends. It's faster [speaking of GeForce 7600 GS], but they're both next to useless for any recent games, and if you're looking for 2D only then they will both work equally well, so the 6200 is a better deal in that case.

I see a couple of AGP 2600 Pros on the egg for only a little more ($90-100). Those are two to three times as fast and would actually provide passable performance on many recent games.
