Hi,
I better add my input so you don't go and make any more mistakes.

Firstly, I was new to 3D cards and ended up buying a Creative Labs TNT2 M64 nVidia card. Now this car is ok for basic gaming, but I'll let you know now: STAY AWAY FROM M64 models. These aren't good cards, and have some problems.

At most, I can play about an hr of gaming with this card before my whole computer freezes up. It might be lack of ventilation or power to the video card (I added a fan to the car but it didn't help). I tried several drivers and it still hangs after an hr of so..

Also, AGP slots look like PCI slots, except they're a bit smaller (and in some cases, different coloured then PCI slots).

The GeForce cards are really nice, and if you're gonna keep this one, look into a good motherboard (Abit and Asus are good brands).

Bye!
