what do you mean about power supply compatibilities?
Because i dont know if its compatible with mine,


Thank u in Advance!

I am glad those are not American dollars....

I am no authority on comparing brands of video cards.

Any card you buy should at least meet the minimum specs, which is 128MB memory and support for Direct X 9.0 and Pixel Shader 2.0 or above. I know that having to get an AGP card may limit your choices somewhat.

The cards you listed are all at the low end of the performance range, so you can't expect to crank your graphics up high and be able to play smoothly.

You can check out the benchmark ratings here, and try to find one that has the highest benchmark rating.

but um, do u know any better AGP video cards that ive listed?

@PlatinumNinja
i saw that too, but i happen to have a motherboard that only supports AGP cards, and youve recommended a PCI-E one,.. but tnx btw,

Here is the place I usually get my stuff from. You can use it as a guide. This is a listing of AGP cards.

AGP, AGP Slot Card, AGP Video Cards, 4x 8x AGP Graphic Cards at TigerDirect.com

That one looks like it might be OK. I don't know what differences there are between the PCI-E version and the AGP version though...

Here is a review of that card:
