I think you got your money out of that one, son.

same thing happened with my ti4600 a year ago. Just decided to say screw it and got a core 2 duo and a pci-e card.

don't wanna replace my mobo just to get a pci-e card

what's the best AGP card out there?

*knocks on wood*

my 128 MB Chaintech Geforce4 ti4200 is still alive and kicking after 5-6 years. overclocked for a while then decided to go stock. it's damn reliable.

as long as everything else, besides the dvi, works on your vid card, i will trade you my fully functional geroce4 ti4200 for your partially functioning geforce4 ti4200 for possibly something to compensate delivery.

^^^ nVidia had some 6800 series cards in AGP

i've decided

512mb, agp, dual dvi, does dx10

and it's under $150

yay

i don't need dvi, so having a card with nonfunctioning dvi is not a problem. But if you are getting a new card, that's fine.

my VGA started going to shit too, i had weird horizontal lines going all across that made my desktop look like the ocean

+ i love DVI, cleaner image, and i've got 2 monitors, so dual dvi = ftw

^^^I got a card somewhat similar to that and it kicks ass

I got that, 2 gigs of RAM, and a AMD 2.2GHZ dual core

there has only been one game I've played over the last year and a half where I couldn't put it on the highest graphic settings (the game DiRT)

guess what!

PNY is RMAing the card, even though they haven't manufacturered it in 3 years now. lifetime replacement warranty ftw.

already ordered the new one, though. can always use an extra vid card however.
