I have an Intel D850MV Pentium IV 1.7 GHz, 128 MB RD RAM Computer with NVidia RIVA TNT2 Model 64 with 16 MB Memory. I want to buy a graphics card preferably 128 MB or 256 Mb that can run the latest games without much issues but my budget is only 4k. Is there any graphic card that can fulfil my requirements? Plz suggest.

Read 47 page.
U shud go for Geforce 6200 128MB 128bit model.It will come in Rs 4000.

Dont go for 256MB cards lol
coz they use slow RAM so slow performace lol
So go for 128MB RAM cards with 128bit memory bus.

also make sure that your power supply can handle that graphics card...because i had gone and bought 6600 256 mb but my smps couldnt provide enough power so my system was plaqued by frequest hangs and restarts....the problem worsened when i found out that no other smps would work on my mobo besides the original compaq one. so I`m stuck with the old vanta again!

driver problems with ASUS-A8N VM MoBo

Hi guys,
I hav recently bought the ASUS A8N-VM mobo. After installing XP SP2, I installed drivers provided with the motherboard. When I tried to run any game which utilised directX, it ran, but displayed garbled video. Tried this for many games and it happened same. Then I installed directX 9.0c hoping it might solve the problem. But no use. I am even unable to play videos in Windows Media Player. I went to control panel > add/remove problems > NVIDIA drivers, and uninstalled only the display driver. Now I am able to play movies but my games say I don't have 3D acceleration.
In first case (when I had drivers), DxDiag gave negative results 4 directdraw and direct3D. In second case, it just said 'disabled'.
I can't understand what my problem is. Can anyone out there help me please?
