i have recently come into possession of a computer with a 2.70 Ghz celeron
but it has NO agp port
could anyone recommend any pci video cards that support AREO/GLASS
ATI or Nvidia are preferd choices
im not a gamer s i dont really need anything powerful
ive tried newegg but they only have Nvidia the ATI cards are all dx8 -.-'
if i can git a variety of choices at less then $50
less then $30 would be preferred
i would be very grateful :)
Newegg has a large variety of PCI cards.
Here they are, cheapest to most expensive.

You generally want something with DirectX 10.1. Any that do that are guaranteed to be good for Aero. DX9 is good too, but I see no sense in that.
So I advise DX10.1.
Have a look at this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814187041
i just searched new egg yesterday and the problome is they only have Nvida in pci dx9
ALL the ATI pci cards are DX8
i would just like some cheep variety
and any recommendations anyone has..
but thank you for the reply..
but i dont need DX 10 as i dont game..
i just want something that just barely cuts the mustard xD
then again as im searching for a pci card im already just barely cutting the mustard xD
See my last post. I edited it at the end to include a good solution for ya.
thats a nice card.. but i dont just want one choic or one company
ide like some solutions from both the leaders
knowing ALL the cards both company's have produced in pci would be of great help
ide love to have an ATI if i can find one in DX9
hell even a via chrome would do just fine
but newegg doesn't carry them
You want to only spend $30 but also have a range of choices? That's unrealistic.
At that price it doesn't matter much at all. None will really be better than others. If it has DX10, you're good to go for Aero. Since you don't play games, no other specs matter. Either NVidia or ATI solution will be great. Doesn't matter.
If you want digital brilliance enhancement, which I find cool on very low setting, go NVidia.
no its VERY realistic its PCI almost none wants them
saying if you want the best go with Nvidia
thats like saying if you want a good CPU go with Intel ide rather have VIA
the chrome when it was RTMd just 1 year ago was $30
and that was pcie dx10 i know they still make pci cards they are the truly budget company
at this agent of tech 30 is a very resinoble price point
50 is more of a gaming capableity for pci
Neapolitan DOSE exist
lol where did I say NVidia is best? I'm actually an ATI enthusiast, especially from HIS. I said, "none will be better than others." That qualifies as a neutral position, no?
My point was that you want Aero, buy any PCI card with DX10, doesn't matter if it is made on Mars by an alien company, you'll be satisfied all the same.
