Hey I want ted to know if any of you know a good graphics card for a low price.

Depends what you understand by "cheap" and "good"...

I'm still living on a GeForce 4 Ti4200 with 64meg RAM--its mediocre these days--cant handle the top specs on the newest games.

PC gamer suggest that for serius player the minimum should be a ATI Radeon 9600 or GeForce FX 5700.

PC Gamer = Suck... I used to get the UK version, got tired after one too many Id suck-ups.

You can pick up Radeon 9800's for ~

According to THIS article desktops aint gonna see this technology too soon--only servers.

Although, this bit sounds interesting:

One fairly exciting possibility for this upcoming technology is the potential for multiple graphics cards using the same high-speed connection. Currently it is possible to use more than one video card in a given system by combining an AGP card with a 32-bit PCI card. There is no apparent reason why the X16 spec could not be extended to include support for more than one slot, allowing multiple high-speed PCI-Express graphics cards... though at the moment, such a feature does not exist as far as we know.

Posted: 2004-08-09 14:22 the_demigod Rank: 9 Posts: 1759 I remember about 2 years ago, that ATI was promising some kinda card with 4 processors, 4 pipelines and DDR RAM for each of them. But the card never materialside [or at least Im not aware that ity did], so waiting for some "future miracle" is kinda pointless..... Posted: 2004-08-09 14:44 TIKI Rank: 0 Posts: 1176 Miracles take time. I think i will ackt now and will buy good computer withe 2,8 prozessor at least 9600 radeon card, 1Ghz memory and withe a good monitore!!

Posted: 2004-08-11 17:06 Razortech Xeno ... Rank: 0 Posts: 349 As for the four prosessor, four pipline thingy, it's probably used by the military at the moment for some kind of spiecal programe. So It might come out it might stay military, thats asuming its even used by the military.
