Hi,

My system is getting old, but I can't afford to do a major upgrade until next summer. Can someone recommend a AGP video card upgrade for me, in the $200-300 range? Here are my system specs:

Windows XP Home
Asus P4PE with a P4 2.4 Ghz Proc.
1 Gb SDRam (333 Mhz)
ATI 9700 Pro

A "$200-300 range" is too much to spend on any AGP GPU you hope to pair up with your current CPU and it *may* even throttle the GPU's performance.
