Im looking for anything that is under 200$ and it has to be from this website: www.tigerdirect.ca, im sure they have alot of popular video cards.
im thinking about this one: MSI GeForce 6600 / 256MB DDR / AGP / DVI / TV Out / Video Card
here is the link: http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/SearchTools/item-details.a...
plz help me pick the right video card. I dont need it for extremely high gaming but I still want something that is good.
also which type should I get SLI or AGO or PCI or PCI express?
thx alot :P

pci express is the newest technology. it depends if your mobo will accept it or not. agp is the next best i think, not sure. i think newegg.com will have better prices, unless you have to buy it from the other site. i have the powercolor x800gt and it seems pretty good.
Intel 945PVSLKR
Intel Pentium D 820 2.8ghz
GeIL 1GB pc5300x
250GB 16MB cache SATA II
Powercolor X800GT 256MB
Dual LG 17" LCD 8ms
Thermaltake 420watt PSU
Lite-on DVD/RW , Asus DVD-Rom

You should get an adaptor with that card if not you should be able to pick one up form most computer shops.

The blue port you refer to is an VGA port the white ports are DVI, as the other guys have said the card will come with an adaptor which will allow you to use your crt monitor with this card ..... the other card you posted is just the same as the first one, still a very good card but like i posted before the 6600GT will perform better and is better spec'd ... ;)

oh i forgot about that.pick up a hiper r 480 power supply.its a module and there pretty cheap,check this site: http://www.hipergroup.com/English/products/hpu-4s480.html check this site out for review the ps is sweet comes in different colors.i have the 580 watt blue one it works great keeps the case clean of wires.upgrading sometimes makes you upgrade a couple of things not just one.upgradeing can get exspensive

Yeah your psu could lead to a few problems with the 6600GT , so if your gonna keep your current psu the the nvidia card you posted will be fine, the 9800pro is a good card and requires a 300w psu so if your psu can handle having some extra load it might not be a bad choice , mind you it's about 20% slower than a 6600GT & $10 more .......
