Based on the selection at Newegg, I would highly recommend going with |
| 12 |
one of the Radeon HD 3650 or 4650 cards which only cost a little more |
| 13 |
than the one you're looking at. HD3650 is going to be 5x faster than |
| 14 |
GeForce 6200 and HD4650 probably 10x faster. |

I think your motherboard supports AGP 8x, and I'm not sure if there |
| 17 |
are any power supply considerations or other features (number of DVI |
| 18 |
heads, etc) but anyway that's my 2 cents. :) |

I am an Nvidia video card guy through and through, but in this case |
| 21 |
the AGP Nvidia cards on offer there are ancient and slow compared to |
| 22 |
their ATI counterparts. |
