AGP video cards

[Theycalledhim Alan]

I wasn't sure if I should post this in here but it's the closest thing I found.
Well, I uh was wondering if any of you have an old AGP card lying around which you no longer use. I ask because well it's cheapassgamer and I'm a cheapassgamer running on 32MB onboard video.

No, you're asking for a handout. Here's a list of AGP cards you can buy yourself.

If $30-50 is too much of an issue, I suggest you find a new hobby.

I only asked because AGP became obsolete years ago and most people sold their cards 5 years ago. Newegg wants an absurd amount of money for cards that should be $5, just because they're rare. I'd rather build a new rig, I figured they may be someone who had one lying around they didn't use. So no need for the smart ass remark.

Mods, delete the thread.

If you only currently have 32mb of vram then this card will work and it's inexpensive.

This one is a little more expensive, but is much better.

If you want a $5 card, you can look on craigslist or haunt local flea markets.

Thank you mogamer for your advice.
I'm going to go with the 6200 and give it to my cousin then I'm going to build a new rig, I figure it's time because I'd rather put money into something that I'll be using in the future. If I told you the specs of this thing you'd want to call a museum.

I'm going to close the thread because I don't want this thread to turn into a flamefest or something similar.
