Ya, if you actually read his post, then you would have noticed that this machine is not a gaming machine. It's for his DAD, duh.

Assume. Make and ass of U and me.


How do you know his father does not play any games... let alone want a decent screen saver?

And the word "duh" is not only innapropriate, its rude.

Wise up asshole, people are only asking advice here.

yea he just wants one that will do most things. i had an 8MB card laying around when i built my grandmother's computer and put it in hers, but it wouldn't play wheel of fortune, so i had to get a better card and it ended up being an ati rage 128 pro series (32M. so he didn't want to get a crummy one then have to get a better one in a month or so.

here are the two i'm looking at:

Code:

ATI Radeon 7500 64MB DDR 2x/4x AGP Video Card w/TV-Out, DVI, Twin-View, Retail (PowerColor) for $54.95 with free shipping.

or a 

PNY GeForce2 Ti 64MB AGP Video Card for $40 after $30 mail-in rebate and probably about $10 shipping.

kind of leaning towards the ati since it inclueds tv-out and dvi. i don't really think he will ever use those features, but they will be there in case he does.


edit: ok going to get the ati since i will be getting the case from the same spot. thanks for all your replies. also, closing this its getting ordered in just a minute and before it gets out of hand.
