Are you paying for at Wal-Mart/perfect purchase or from a internet website? What card slots does your computer have? once you've an AGP, that's extra perfect than PCI, and there's a extra recent version of PCI now too. How previous is the computer? those are questions we "volunteer computer techs" at Yahoo favor to understand. possibly you aren't any further particular what you're searching at on line too. PCI isn't a similar in the course of the board, PCI teach isn't a similar as PCI, do not get stuck procuring some thing your computer can not manage! you would possibly want to no longer be in a position to go back it, even to Wal-Mart once you've opened the packaging up. as well that, Diamond and ATI are 2 diverse agencies, so some distance as I truly have considered on Diamond's internet website, they promote the chip as in simple terms "Radeon" and not in any respect ATI Radeon, meaning they have offered rights to apply Radeon chips on their playing cards. so that they do no longer have the precise administration of the chip that ATI playing cards do (ATI manufactures playing cards as well, you pay a markup, reason they make the perfect controllers for the Radeon chips they promote).

its nice , good for the cash
you could also opt for xfx GeForce 7800GTX PCI 512 mb (dd3) -also quite steep though
be sure to plug ur card in the highest "x" slot
many peoplare unaware but motherboards these days have more than 1
pci slots each having different speed(ix,2x,14x,16x)
each one runs at a higher transaction speed
here x refers to 250 mb/s in each lane so higher the speed the better ur cards gonna work

Depends on what you're going to use it for...but in general ATi Graphics Acelerator cards (videocards) are very good...that's what I use for gaming and it's a 9550256/128 and plays games like HL2, FEAR, Q4, etc very well...

Budget-price card, and it brings passable performance in current 3D games. Good card for the money ($100.00)

Great card. If you are looking to find it for cheap, go to Tigerdirect. I buy all of my parts from them.
