Default Video Card

Ok I have a limited amount to spend on a vid card, about $60 so what do you think of this card and are there any other recommendations near this price range? I lnow this is not a lot to spend but I just need something to get me going for now. How does this compare to my 9800 pro in my agp computer?

Take a look at the 7300GS or the 7300GT

That looks better. I saw this one also with a higher clock speed.

higher clock speed won't make up for the 64-bit....stick with the 128-bit cards

Damn I just bought the 7300GT. Oh well it will have to do until I can get something better.

well, it won't really hurt your CS:S performance

Seriously though, you'd be able to watch DVDs, play games on low settings, etc.

Would it be any better with a second 7300gt later or better to wait and get a single 7600gt?

Always save room for future upgradeability....go with a single 7600GT...which is an awesome card
