    I think it actually has both an AGP and PCI slot. I don't know a lot about computers, so how would I tell which is which and how many x it has?

    Slap some upgrades for it on me, but i'm not rich so...

    E: So far the only thing I did was take out the floppy drive and add another (80 gig) HDD that I had lying around.
    ATI rage 128 ultra is AGP 4x I believe...Or at least that's what a wiki search told me.

    I have a RAGE Pro 128 All-In-Wonder, and it's PCI. That's why I asked him whether or not his is PCI or AGP. You can find good AGP 4x/8x cards on the market, but finding something that is 1x or 2x is getting hard to do.

    Updated all prices and replaced deactivated items. Going to do a complete rebuild of all the rigs at the start of next month.

    Is this card's cooler adequate to keep the card cool? I don't want it to give me high temps like the reference ones.

    You can fix the reference issue by modifying the fan settings...a simple Google search will tell you that.

    But yes, the cooler is sufficient. Technically, they are all sufficient.

    What? A quick google search told me the cards still get pretty high temps even with the fan fix.

    The card is meant to, and can handle the high temps. It's not a problem.

    Alright, I learned that my PC has AGP 4x for it, and I was wondering what card I should get. I can't spend too much on it, but I want to be able to atleast run newer games (idc if I can run Crysis). My price range is about $80 or less. I know absolutely nothing when it comes to this stuff, so if someone can point me in the right direction of what to get, it'd be a great help.

    $79.99 Sapphire HD3650 512MB

    What would happen to be the specs on your computer right now? That can affect what your performance will be on newer games a ton.
