graphics card update

[harrykim]

i want to change my voodoo 3 2000 card and would like the geforce 3 ti200..but i need to know if it would work in my system which is a bit low spec...pentium 3 450..256 ram..gigabyte board at 100 fsb..win98se..250 watts power...or should i consider another card?

You'll be fine. As long as you don't have much more in your case than a hard drive and a cd rom or two.

thanks for reply..i have one hdrive,one cdrom,but also a usb connection for ntl cable internet,which i think is a bit resource intensive,i am going to change to an ethernet card connection,to save power..also got a sb128 sound card.

Still should be no worries. I have a 300 watt power supply on a Gigabyte mobo, PIII 800, 512 Mb RAM, GeForce 4 Ti 4400, SoundBlaster Audigy, ethernet card, cd-rom, cd-r/rw, 40 Gig HDD, 3 case fans, and not a glitch.
Get the card!! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/tongue.gif

make absolutely sure you properly uninstall the voodoo drivers and entries in the registry for 3dfx before you attempt to install the Geforce card-or you'll wind up with a headache you'll regret! http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/eek.gif

I would seriously suggest a fresh reinstall of windows in this case.
