I want something bigger than that though, like I want something that will cost around 200. I prefer Nvidia cards because I've had problems in the past with ATI. I was thinking maybe the 4800 or the 4600 ti cards. I want something that will be pretty fast playing some games at 1024 or 1280 on a 19&qu...

Yep card is dead, plugged the fan it and to my avail it did the same when it wasnt plugged in. Probably got too hot and burnt. Anyone got any good brand recommendations on a Geforce 4 ti 4400 or 4600, I'm looking for something around 200 dollars online.

push pins, came out easy, I just cut em off since the other fan will have them. I don't have a visiontek card, its a Gainward. That fan looks nice, but their is one on newegg thats red and its only 7.99, the reviews have wonderful things said about it.

Ah ha, I found out that the fan is not working, it smells blown too. Who sells one that would fit directly on top of this chip, and how the heck do I take this old one off? This might be the problem.

Alright currently I have my 750mhz athalon with 512mb of sdram and a SB Live 5.1. I am just not sure if I would benefit more with getting a board that has ddr ram slots or finding one like you said with sdram slots. I definatly want a board with 8x agp and onboard networking, thats about all my real...

The fan spins correctly, I will try and clean the contacts and see if that helps. The card has never been overclocked, it did come with some software to do so but I never had it over the normal specs. Unfortunately I don't have a warranty on it anylonger. I am thinking I might possibly replace it wi...

suggestions on upgrading

I am needing to upgrade my 750mhz computer soon because I want to play some of these newer games, however I really only have $250-300 to spend at the current time on upgrading. I like to play a lot of FPS games, so I need something fairly fast (1.8mhz probably the best idea). However my problem is, ...

Is my card fried?

I have this Gainward Geforce 3 ti200 128mb card I've been using for quite a while but recently its been putting white horizontal bars on the screen upon bootup. For a while I thought this was a motherboard problem but I popped this old Geforce 2 mx I had laying around and the pc worked like a breeze...
