Hey guys. My friend is looking for a video card so he can play some newer games.
His AGP slot is 4x.
What is the ABSOLUTE BEST card that we could get right now for his computer? I mean, I hate to sound dumb, but I'm really not that educated on video cards in general.

That one seems good, no?
Point me in the right direction! =)
Thanks.

Well, would it be worth it to go with a 512MB card?

That seems to be the best card available right now.
I am basing this entirely on the fact that it has 512MB of memory as opposed to the 256 of every other card I've been recommended.
By the way, the computer is a Pavilion A220N.

Buying the X1600 Pro is a waste of money because your remaining system component is not at par with the video card.
512MB means is meaningless with your system, if I was you, what I'd get is below.
