New Video Card

[KingOfMetal]

Hey guys Im looking for a decent video card for my PC. PCIe x16, component out, $100 -150. I would look through Saph's list, but its getting a little outdated so I thought I'd ask here. Thanks! :D

Edit: Possibly something like this

But I'm still learning so I'd thought I'd ask here first.

Or maybe this one?

I'm really lost here :(

The last is only 64bit, not good. :(

Have a look at this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102674

Or this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814150130

Both of those are not bad at all in your price range. You can search using your budget ($100-$200), and look for 256bit memory interface and 256MB memory.

Hope that helps narrow it down for you.

Okay, so I ordered the XFX card and got it in the mail today. I had a little troubling installing it, maybe you guys will know what Im talking about... Well my case is tooless (not sure if that has anything to do with it) but on the right of the card was a little black plastic clip. It seems like it would slide over the latch on the side of the card but I couldnt seem to get it to. My cards installed and working, I was just wondering if that was normal. Thanks :D

Are you talking about the clip that secures the card into the PCIe slot? The clip that is attached to the PCIe expansion slot on the MOBO?

[KingOfMetal]

Yeah... but not like a normal clip. Its a small piece of plastic with one little piece on top. Its confusing I know, anyways its running so I suppose its okay.

[hockey man]

Yep, if it is running, leave it alone!

Yes that is normal. As long as you pushed it all the way down in the PCI Express slot, it should be fine.
