hey guys, just reinstalled my dad's computer with vista. it's user friendly enough that it should be perfect, but the onboard video adapter isn't supported fully under vista. the most i can get is 1280x1024. normally fine, but dad bought himself a widescreen lcd, so i need a card that will do 1440x900.

just looked at the nvidia website, vista support starts at FX5200 range on up.

so if anyone's got a old budget card they'd part with for some loose change (or mate's rate's at harvey's :P), i'd appriciate it

rof. I just threw an old computer in the bin. Had a radeon9700pro in it. Still works unless it met its match in the bin.

I'll check its bin juice status in the morning if you are keen.

sorry just gave mine away :(

cheers ctd

I have a 7600GS but I don't know if it works. About 4 months old

hey, i'll take what i can get. where do i need to go to pick it up?

Just for reference...

Inno3D FX5200 128M TV Out AGP
Internet Price: $33.00

threw out my 9600xt few weeks ago =(

Got a 9600xt sitting here in a box. Missing a capacitor but was used for like 4 years with it missing without a hitch. You probably seen it running once lol

i have an ATI x800 GTO AGP 8 x. 256mb tv out DVI.

Had it for about a year and a half. Hardly used it much. I could let it go for 40 dollars. Considering its got a little bit of power.

Plus I'll also throw in a 6800GT, which I'm not sure if it works or not either. At least then you should have a pretty good chance of getting a working card.
Take your pick of the cards on offer then, then PM owner.

yeah, my dad needed his computer back in a hurry, so i'd already told him to go buy that FX5200.

but on the other hand, i'll buy that x800 protius, cuz i need a new video card in my HTPC, and that'll be good for hardware decoding and HDTV resolutions

man you can get ATI Radeon 9550's for like $80
