Now me come to Video cards there are two type of video cards AGP and PCI. And there are only two makers that matter NVIDIA and ATI NVIDIA and ATI , If you are a gamer then AGP is just what you need, PCI cards are for people with all-in-one motherboards that do not have a AGP slot.

We are going to start with AGP or ( Accelerated Graphics Port ) this port is the top slot on your motherboard and is off set from the white PCI ones normaly it is brown. AGP is the best way to go for gamer and with the new 8X speed your games will ROCK! , Most new AGP cards come with 64MB to 256MB of DDR Memory on the card the more the better! , Nvidia makes a great card with there Geforce FX 5950 Ultra and ATI with there Radeon 9800 Pro. I have tryed both and I thing ATIs Radeon is faster then Nvidia but these cards are a little less then $500.00 bucks. So for most people I say just get a ( Nvidia Geforce FX 5600 Ultra ) or ( ATI Radeon 9600 Pro ) for under $200.00 and you will be just fine. For info on installing your card click Here

Now me come to PCI these cards are great for people with All-in-one motherboards that only have 8MB on board video. So if you have a Gateways , HP or E-Machine that do not have a AGP slot all is not lost! You can just install a new PCI card like ( Nvidias GeForceFX 5200 128MB PCI ) or ( ATI All-In-Wonder VE 64MB DDR PCI ) for under $150.00. Remember to turn off your on board video in your bios!
