Cheapest AGP 7600GS I can find is £77......was the £50 version from somewhere dodgy like ebay/ebuyer? | |

If you have an AGP slot in your machine, completely incompatible......it's a totally new type of graphics-card slot, to replace the AGP slot, so you'd need a new motherboard. | |

I saw this PCi-E on some of the cards on those links, how recent is this? My PC is about 3 years old, whats the chances of it being compatible? | |

As a comparison, this is the card I bought almost two years ago now, that Scan look to be selling the remainder of their stock in. Given that AGP is pretty much becoming obsolete now, replaced by PCi-E, that's probably one of the better AGP cards they have for sale... | |

So what sort of price am I looking at for a decent card? And what kind would it be? | |

£50 will get you a 128MB XFX 6600GT like this or, if you want to stick with ATI (I don't know much about them, never used them), you could get a 256MB Radeon 9550 like this... | |

That looks familiar, so yeah it probably is. | |

An AGP-slot, does yours look like this? | |

My computer's doing something strange, which I think is to do with the Graphics card. |
