Can you buy a 1GB AGP graphics card at the moment? They seem to be scarce (in the USA) at the moment.

If you can get one, the only harm that I foresee is a slightly higher cost than a 512MB model.

This would probally be your best bet if any

Also it would help if you added another stick of ram
Is your max ram 2gb DDR if so I would look into getting a one more 1Gb stick as well it will only help things along
Click to expand...


i dont think its worth it..
for around this price you can buy nice mid end pcie gpu.. and anyways pentium 4 is slow cpu.
its better to save for new platform..
or buy second hand cheap agp card. 512MB for that level of GPU is enough.
