if you want to spend all the money get a 4870

or get a 4850 for 95$

since its a p4 though you may have an AGP slot so make sure....

5

A 4870 1GB or a GTX 260 core 216

6

it does have a X16 express slot. XD
but i will take those into account.

7

EVGA GTX 260 Core 216. Beats a stock HD 4870 in most games.

8

GTX 260 core 216 is about 170, a little too expensive.

There are 4870 1GB cards available for $150.

A Pentium 4? If it does have a PCIe x16 slot, it's a 1.0 slot, so the 4870 wouldn't get enough bandwidth.

So i think it would be best to go with a 4850 at most.

20 bucks more to trash the 4870? earn em'

10

hmm..
i have come across someone local selling this.
should i just get this or find another graphics card?
CPU: Intel Pentium Dual Core 940 3.2 GHZ socket 775
Video Card: EVGA 8600gt 512MB DDR2 PCI-express
Ram: 2x512 Samsung pc4200 DDR2
Motherboard: Is from an hp compaq presario sr2150nx.
price is 100 bucks.

Hmm 100 bucks isnt much.. but the pc isnt much aswell..
HP motherboard.. means you cant overclock.. and I thin kthe cpu is fairly weak.

Well.. its your coice, its cheap. If you dont have a pc right now and just need something to use, go for it. But be sure to test it out before you buy it

i looked into this board and it originally came with a Celeron® D 3.33GHz,
not sure if its good or bad that someone already tried to modify it

lolwut? The 1GB performs pretty close to the GTX 260Â core 216.
