Ok right now I have a Xpert 128 (ATI reage pro 128 16mb video card) now this thing is slow... clock speed is like 110/110 it just sucks. Ok now if I buy a Radeon 7000 64mb PCI (no AGP slots) will it be a lot better then the card I have right now? I mean A LOT better?

Thanks.

Ah ok also my motherboard says it can take only take PCI 2.0 but I installed the Xpert 128 and it said it required a 2.1, now the card i'm looking at says it needs a 2.2, will I run into any problems?

Thank you.

What motherboard, processor, ram etc. are you using? It makes a huge difference with the other pieces of hardware as well.

Hi thanks for responding, well its a crap computer thats why I dont want to get a Geforce 4 mx420 or Radeon 9000. The PC is:

You already know the videocard I have. But any ways is a Radeon 7000 even to much for this computer?

Thanks buff nasty for trying to help. I bought a Radeon 7500 and it does not post, I help a lot at computing.net and i'm a little pissed know one helped me. This is not you you buff nasty but for the rest of the people. I realise its know ones fault but it would have been helpfull if maybe someone could have gave me a warning because thats the reason why I asked.
