    mhm..........okay where to start.

    okay first off PCI is an outdated bus and they don't make 8 series PCI cards (Pci express only) i believe the 7th series has an agp version but definitely not pci.

    also all 8 series have atleast 340 to 768 of gddr3 ram.

    If that is your current video card, then your main system is probably so old that it would not benefit much from an 8-series nvidia card. Not to mention that you probably only have regular PCI, which means you cannot get one anyway.

    Time for a whole new system, methinks.

    I've got a 6800GT with 256M of DDR3 that I'll let a TG member have for cheap. It'll be a decent little upgrade for you, if you're not upgrading your whole 'puter.

    alright you have one agp 8x so look for a bus of that type. i know they make them they are slightly more expensive then the better pci-express counterparts. i believe the most expensive agp8x card is the ati radeon 1900

    Sounds like AGP.

    x1950 or the 7800GS should work fine for him, that is if he has enough RAM.
