Answer 1

just wait for few months

Directx 10 card will be available in the market(geforce 8 series cards)

and then decide what to buy

if you need it urgently go for geforce 7900 cost about $300 high FPS

or geforce 7800 $230 if you got the budget. otherwise you can stick with your 7600gt card. And dont worry about overclocking its not safe. unless you have a better cooling systems.

First you need to determine what your motherboard can handle in terms of the type of slot (AGP, PCIe), the type of AGP support (4x, 8x), the voltage supplied, etc. Also, what are your main tasks? Office apps? Gaming? Video?

Overclocking is not recommended if you don't have the required expertise with and knowledge of your particular hardware setup. You could crash the system and end up in a vicious cycle from which newbies have difficulty escaping.

I myself am using an Nvidia card from MSI which is also who made my motherboard. There are a lot of options out there, but try to stay with major manufacturers -- usually they have better support. You can check out http://www.tomshardware.com and http://www.anandtech.com for more information.

FWIW, Tom's Hardware rates the 7600GT well. If you can get it for 150 or less, then it seems to be a good buy (if you have the PCI Express interface on your motherboard).

nVidia 7600 GT is good for about $180.00, 7900 GT is another $100.00 but has better performace. Depends on how much you want to spend. ATI and nVidia are the top brands. They can be overclocked, what's important is cooling because overclocking generates more heat along with more power.

Answer 4

1. what type of connector do you have? agp/pci express?
2. what are you going to use the graphics card for?
3. overclocking just means the core and memory clock are upped a bit to a higher speed. for most things it doesnt relaly matter.
4. if you don't know what pci express/agp is, heres pictures of each:

Answer 5

There are a few sub-levels of PCI-e (1x, 4x and 16x). The most important factor in buying a video card or any other expantion card is making sure you have the right slot to fit the expantion card in. Without the right slot, your hardware that you just bought is useless.
