[bubusam13]

Buy XFX Nvidia 6200LE 256 MB DDR2 Graphics Card.
I m suggesting you that because me too using the same motherboard. And thats the only graphics card available in the market in the AGP section. It can handle Vista, Windows 7 easily.
And believe it or not, I have played games like Bioshock on it at the lowest settings.

Thanks for the help
if u know than let me know what is its approx price ?

 

[bubusam13]

It will cost Rs 2500 at max.

 

[satyamy]

thanks for help

m getting XFX 6200 256MB @ 1800/-
& 512MB @ 2500/-

6200 is a very weak card and I hardly doubt it will bring any performance increase in today's demanding gaming. Check for the ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP 8X. It is available within 3K.

 

[coderunknown]

@satyamy, you can try get your hands on XFX nForce 630i (620i will also work) motherboards. maybe used board (saw one in Bazaar section). will cost around 2k. so that also takes care of your graphics problem (the IGP isn't crap).

so get 2Gb DDR2 ram at 1.2-1.5k.

 

[vickybat]

I guess that one has a pci-e slot?

 

[coderunknown]

yes. it has PCIe slot. so if not from other state, he can inquire locally also. old stock.

What exactly you mean ?
do u mean i should drop idea of graphics card & get new motherboard & ram

will this new mobo+ram enough to run FIFA 10 without Graphics card ?

yes. for now drop the idea of graphics card. the IGP in 630i isn't strong enough for modern games but it may run at lowest of details.

but, 630i = 2k (saw in bazaar)
2Gb DDR2 ram = 1k
----------------------------
TOTAL = 3k. with 3k more you can get a HD4650 which will run Fifa 10 easily.

sell off the 1Gb DDR1 ram.

 

[satyamy]

after a lot of searching in digit forums i hav came to these solutions

1) XFX Nvidia 6200LE 256 MB DDR2 - Rs. 1800
or
XFX Nvidia 6200LE 512 MB DDR2 - Rs. 2500

2) ATI Radeon HD 3650 AGP 8X - Rs. within 3K

3) XFX nForce 630i motherboards Rs. 2700 + 1GB DDR2 Rs. 1100/- = Rs. 3800

4) Asus P5KPL-AM/PS motherboard + 1GB DDR2 Ram = Rs. 3800

5) Gigabyte G41M-COMBO + 1GB DDR2 Ram = Rs. 3700 (i know it support DDR3 but let it be DDR2 for a while)

now m more confused, even for a min if i forgot about budget than how can i know
which option (from above 5) work best for me
Requirement is same
Windows 7 & FIFA 10

(i m not in a mood to upgrade my PSU, current one is just normal 400w)

Please Suggest from your experience

1) XFX Nvidia 6200LE 256 MB DDR2 - Rs. 1800
or
XFX Nvidia 6200LE 512 MB DDR2 - Rs. 2500

Avoid these.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

i pefer the 5th option provided it supports your processor. you can play fifa10 at low settings. moreover corsair 2gb ddr3 1333mhz can be had for 1.2k or so.

 

[satyamy]

thanks friends

-1 to Option 1st

+1 to option 5th

anymore votes pls ?

 

[coderunknown]

go for what jassy mentioned but Pentium4 in G41 chipset? doesn't looks possible.

yes just saw that
it support P4 and even Celeron Processor but
unfortunately it dosent support P4 3.2Ghz (my luck)

option 5th deleted

pls vote for any other options

 

[coderunknown]

1 reason for this is, the processor you have supports HyperThreading & that Giggy isn't designed for that. through bios update, support for the rest of the P4 has been brought but bios update can't bring HT technology to boards. so left out.
