I need a decent graphics card thats around or under $120. I want a AGP because i have a PCI card (radeon 9250) right now and i absolutely hate it... I need a graphics card that can handle big games f.e battle field, call of duty, photoshop etc. Id also like a high resolution g.c if possible. If any one could also explain the difference between AGP, PCI, and PCI-express that would be great...thanks!

It's a Dell XPS Gen 2 laptop. I just had the motherboard replaced and I have a new AC Adapter so I've ruled out those aspects. When I press the Power On Button, the LED Power Light comes on, I hear a feint high pitched sound, and then powers off after about 3 seconds. The Screen doesn't turn on at all during this time. It does this off of the battery power, and when the AC Adapter is plugged into the computer as well. Any thoughts of what it could be?

What is the best affordable printer for printing images onto DVD's. I am considering an Epson Inkjet r300 (i think thats right). Does this printing technique work very well or is that just a selling point of a standard printer that attempts to do it!
