Ok I need a new graphics card currently I have a -blam!- Geforce mx4000. OK I only have PCI slots so what would be the best PCI card I can get? At least 128 mb with Pixel Shaders

Why don't you go down to Futureshop, or Circuit City or some other computer place and ask?

If you want to play Halo 2 Vista (I know that wasn't your question, but whatever) go get yourself a new motherboard, some RAM, and a high-end PCI-Express graphics processor.

Nvidia GeForce FX5500, or the ATI Radeon X1300 are the best for you if you have PCI.

Not too sure if this is PCI or PCI-E, but its the NVIDIA GeForce 6200. I have an AGP 6200, and its a good card, but is really only suited for Halo and MOTOGP 3.


If the 6200 isn't PCI, then go for the FX5500.

Ge-Force 6200 PCI Edition

ATI Radeon X1300 PCI Edition

The Radeon X1300 is the better one, but the 6200 has a better price-performance ratio.

The best PCI cards are the GeForce 6200 OC and the Radeon X1300. I have the 6200 OC, and it runs Halo at a locked 30 FPS as long as I use 800 x 600 resolution and everything on high except specular.
