Any opinions on this card?

I'm assuming since that link is to an AGP card, AGP is all you can support. Correct?
If you're stuck buying AGP, I would get as much beef as the interface will allow. I've run a 6200 before, and... they're decent, but it's not
very good for CoX.

That should do better. Same amount of memory, but of a better type; better chipset, and double the pipeline (128 vs 64 bit). I think it's about the best
you can get for AGP, but I could be wrong.

spud is in the right here, that's one of the best video cards you can get in an AGP system.
If you can, I'd look at starting to save for a new system. an entry-level Core i7 based compy won't be that expensive. By the time you can save up,
say, 1000$, you will be absolutely shocked at the amount of compy you can buy for the money.
This applies to american dollars, of course.
to compare, you can get a vastly more powerful graphics card for PCI-Express for the same price, and you can go quite a bit further 'up' from that
point.
in AGP, well.. this is just about the best card you can get, period.

The problem is that saving up $1k or so would take me... most of a year, to get to the point where I'd be willing to blow it on a PC.
My current desktop system runs what I need, it just doesn't quite have the video muscle, so this is all I really plan to spend.
