Upgrading from FX-5200 to a GeForce 6200 512MB:
I am thinking of upgrading from a FX-5200 with 128Mb video card to a
GeForce 6200 with 512MB. It will be AGP since this is a older rig.
From where does one obtain an AGP card these days? I have 4
motherboards with AGP or AGP Pro slots, and I'm damned if I can find
decent video cards for them.
Monitor: Gateway 19" running 1280 x 1024
Why do you need a slick card on a monitor of that age, or are you
upgrading the monitor too?
There is a link in the original message to where I found this one. They
had more cords to that are AGP. I may get a monitor one day but not
sure what king. I like the CRT's for my puter tho.
Last week bought a Hanns.G HH251 24" monitor that does Full HD. I plan
to install it today, after I have calculated the mode lines for the
X.Org configuration. I'll report back when it is running, if anybody is
interested.
Incidentally, is anybody interested in a mode line calculator program?
I'll be writing it later today, and I'll make it open source if there
is any interest.
