GFX Card Question.

[R3D S3RPENT55]

Okay I'm not gonna lie. I'm working off a pretty old machine. It's a eMachines t3256. It's Got a 3200+ AMD Athlon processor 1.5 gb of RAM and a Nvidia gforce 4 MX integrated GFX card. Now I know it's not the best. But I am trying to fix it up. It runs things well. I would just like to know if there are any certain GFX cards you guys could recommend. They must be AGP or PCI But not PCI express. All I really care about playing at the moment would be CS:S And it runs that pretty well but could be better. Please post me links or names of any GFX cards you think would be good for me to use.

Also please post general pricing of the Card? That would be great

The best things i could find are the AGP versions of the following cards:

HIS ATI Radeon HD 4650

HIS ATI Radeon HD 4670

BFG NVidia 7600GS

*Please note*
All three of these cards require a 4pin connector from the Power supply with a 12v rail and at least 400w of power.

That would probably be the fastest one you can find. Its not worth it IMHO. Way overpriced. $97 for something like that?? rip off...........AGP/PCI are hontesly useless now except for like sound cards etc...but i guess since you want to play CS:S that would be fine. Probably run it max.

Thank you very much for all the replies. I wouldn't need AGP or PCI If it weren't for the stupid integrated GFX card. I understand there is not much use for them now.. But still... Anything would help.
